Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban ‘AVOID quarantine hotel after touch down in Sydney via private jet’ – as government grants ‘special permission for them to isolate inside their mansion instead’
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have been given the celebrity treatment after returning to Australia from the US on Monday morning.
The couple, who flew to in Sydney from their home in Tennessee via private jet, have been given special permission by the NSW Government to avoid staying at a quarantine hotel for two weeks, Sunrise reports.
Instead, Nicole, 53, and Keith, 52, have reporedly been allowed to self-isolate inside their sprawling $6.5M Southern Highlands estate.

The couple’s homecoming comes after Nicole was given the green light to film her new series Nine Perfect Strangers in Australia.
The production, based on the 2018 novel by Big Little Lies author Liane Moriarty, will reportedly inject $100M into the beleaguered local film industry by creating hundreds of jobs.
According to The Daily Telegraph, strict COVID-19 restrictions will be placed upon the production, which is set to take place at an ‘isolated production hub’ at Nicole and Keith Urban’s sprawling property in the NSW Southern Highlands.

Cast and crew members flying from overseas or interstate will be made to quarantine in a hotel for 14-days upon arrival into NSW.
Nicole and her fellow producers will also be responsible for paying all medical and security costs, The Daily Telegraph reports.
The limited series is being produced by Nicole’s production company Blossom Films, alongside Big Little Lies collaborators Bruna Papandrea (Big Little Lies, Gone Girl) and David E. Kelley.

Speaking to The Daily Telegraph on Sunday, Nicole said she’s ‘thrilled’ to be able to inject new life into the local industry.
‘It is a great opportunity for me to give back to the community that nurtured me through so much of my career,’ she said.

The series will tell the story of nine stressed-out urbanites who escape to a wellness retreat run by Nicole’s character.
And as with Moriarty’s other novel adapted for the screen, what appears one way on the surface at the retreat is altogether different deep down.
Filming will begin on August 10 and will run for 19 weeks.
