If and when those plans are enacted is at the discretion of Premier Daniel Andrews.
Tweed Sutherland First National director Matt Leonard said the real estate industry should remain sensible and safe in navigating its way through the pandemic.
"From an industry point of view the sooner we can get back to normal operations the better," Mr Leonard said.
"However in saying that, it is very important not to go backwards."
One part of the Prime Minister's initial plan is for auctions and open homes to proceed with up to 10 people.
At present, open homes are conducted by private appointment only and on-site auctions are banned.
Mr Leonard said the pandemic has allowed the industry to focus on customer service.
"It reminds me of when I started in real estate 20 years ago," he said.
"There is a more personal level of service being provided."
Mr Leonard said there has been a noted increase in the number of sales, enquiries and inspections in the past fortnight.
"It was a bit quieter leading up to May," he said.
"Things are really starting to get back to how they were in terms of the number of transactions and properties that are selling.
"Hopefully it is a sign of things to come."
Since late March, on-site auctions have been banned, instead replaced by virtual auctions.
The Real Estate Industry of Victoria said the State Government should consider a relaxation of restrictions on public auctions.
It is urging the government to follow the lead of New South Wales, where auctions returned last weekend.
REIV president Leah Calnan said public auctions and open home should be permitted, with strict rules in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
"With the flattening of the curve, it is time to ease the restrictions on the real estate industry and help kick start the stimulus for our state's economy," Ms Calnan said.
Mr Leonard said he is also in favour of auctions resuming, with social distancing rules in place.
"I don't think there is a reason why auctions couldn't resume if we employ social distancing or limit the number of people in attendance," he said.
