This is the first time in a long time our government has tackled this issue publicly:

From the linked article...
“If we’re all vaccinated and Covid still comes in occasionally we need to be picking it up and making sure we are alert all the time, so that it doesn’t spread around the community, it doesn’t jeopardise our health system in some way, or we’ve got people who’ve got Covid who are ending up in hospital without knowing about it,” Murton said.
That makes sense. I don't know about other parts of the world, but NSW Health has been doing the contact tracing/identifying venues for measles for decades. I never really paid any attention to it, but I just remember a list of venues or bus routes occasionally popping up in the news. With a largely vaccinated population it should be possible to get on top of outbreaks without having to impose any restrictions.
