Council Pest Management Officers undertake inspections on urban and rural properties as part of
an ongoing program of biosecurity surveillance. These surveys are discussed below:
6.2.1 Pest survey program
The Biosecurity Act 2014 gives authority for Pest Management Officers to survey private property
and government land for invasive species. Each quarter, four localities in rural areas are selected
for surveys. Repeat visits allow for an assessment of the effectiveness of implementation actions to
reduce biosecurity threats.
6.2.2 Shire-wide surveys
To further build knowledge on the distribution and abundance of invasive species, Council has
developed an annual Shire wide random survey program. A randomised survey helps remove bias
from the collection of data which is often in areas of where people reside or travel (e.g. along
roadways). The survey covers both public and private land.

generated each year for the survey.
