Brimbank residents will get a small easing of restrictions as the state hits 80 per cent first dose of vaccinations.

Victoria is set to hit that target on Tuesday with restrictions to slightly ease from 11.59pm that night.

The changes include the 10 kilometre travel radius from your home extending to 15 kilometres, personal training being able to take place with five fully vaccinated people and additional restrictions that were in place at playgrounds have been lifted.

Residents across the whole state will now be able to undertake ‘contactless’ recreation at outdoor facilities, such as boating, tennis or golf.

It’s hoped that Victoria will hit its next major milestone of 70 per cent double vaccinated by late October, which will result in a number of other restrictions easing.

The most recent vaccine data shows that 64.2 per of Brimbank residents over the age of 15 have received their first dose, while 34.9 per cent have received both doses.

The breakdown shows 72.4 per cent of residents in the Keilor area have had their first dose, while 45.3 per cent are fully vaccinated.

Meanwhile, there were 705 cases and one death announced on Monday morning.

As of Sunday there were 370 active cases in Brimbank. There have been 2576 cases overall.

There are currently exposure sites in Braybrook, Burnside, Caroline Springs, Deer park, Derrimut, Keilor, Ravenhall, St Albans Sunshine North, Sunshine West, Taylors Lakes, Taylors Hill and Tullamarine.

Among the exposure sites is the Victoria University campus in Sunshine and Keilor Primary School.
