Wyndham is still leading the way on COVID-19 vaccinations in the west.
Figures released by the federal government on Monday show that more than 95 per cent of Wyndham residents aged 15 and above have had at least one vaccine.
A total of 68.6 per cent of residents have had two jabs.
Across the rest of the western suburbs, 91.7 per cent of residents in the municipality of Melton have been vaccinated once or more.
More than 86.6 per cent of Hobsons Bay residents have been vaccinated, 86.3 per cent of Brimbank residents and 85.9 per cent of Moonee Valley residents.
However, Maribyrong has one of the lowest vaccination rates in the state, with 80.8 per cent of residents vaccinated.
Locally, the 3029 postcode has 856 residents with COVID, along with 559 residents of the 3030 postcode and 192 people from the 3024 postcode.
Another 34 residents in Williams Landing and seven people in Little River have coronavirus.
In good news, these figures are all lower than the total number of COVID cases recorded in each postcode a week earlier.
Federal figures show that as of October 15, there were three active cases of COVID diagnosed in staff at Glendale Aged Care in Werribee and two among staff at Japara Turgo Place in Newport.
The state government announced a $54.5 million Outdoor Economy Package on Monday to help support businesses setting up for street trading and for councils to provide related infrastructure and support.
A $14.5 million COVIDSafe Outdoor Activation Voucher Program was also announced.
