Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young made the announcement this morning.
But Brisbane City remains in lockdown, with three locally-acquired cases announced this morning.
Ms Palaszczuk said the lockdown there would continue for a further 24 hours.
She thanked people for complying with restrictions.
The government conducted 26,993 tests over the past 24 hours.
"Which is just amazing," Dr Young said.
"So I can think every single one of those [people]."
It comes as Prime Minister Scott Morrison and state and territory leaders are set to discuss vaccination thresholds to eliminate lockdowns and border restrictions.
The prime minister will chair a virtual national cabinet meeting from Canberra today.
Mr Morrison has spent weeks arguing there is no magic number of vaccinations that will trigger Australia reopening its international borders and ending domestic restrictions.
But with millions of people forced into lockdown again, he now concedes it is time to set clear expectations around what percentage of the population needs to be vaccinated.
"It's time to start laying it out for the Australian public," Mr Morrison said.
