The Business Council of Australia has voiced concerns Victoria’s roadmap lacks the urgency needed to ensure economic recovery.

Ms Westacott said the economy needs to be opened “more urgently”, implementing a NSW-style “local containment” approach.

She proposed a government investment scheme to help get the state back in business.

“It’s $10 billion [a year] to go forwards, or $12 billion a month … to stay as we are.”
