As it hosts the Formula 1 Grand Prix and a statewide mosque open day, Victoria is on high alert after the Christchurch terrorist attack.
The weekend global motorsport event had already attracted extra police attention, but Friday's fatal events in New Zealand forced a reassessment Victoria Police Deputy Commissioner Wendy Steendam said.
Mosques across Victoria were keen to push ahead with a planned community open day for this Sunday and the public is encouraged to go to support them, Ms Steendam said.
