Queensland is aiming to reopen its border to NSW visitors from 1 November.
The state government's COVID Safe Plan, which lays out its roadmap until the end of 2020, was released on Friday.
The border has been closed to most of NSW since August 8 with only residents of frontier regions or people given medical exemptions allowed to cross.
Under the roadmap, NSW visitors with a valid pass won't have to undergo mandatory quarantine on arrival, provided there is no community transmission of the virus in the previous 28 days.
