State policy and legislation
The Queensland Biosecurity Strategy 2009-2014 sets the vision that Queensland will be
protected from the risks and impacts of pests and diseases through the collaborative efforts
of all Queenslanders. It identifies a suite of actions that focus on improving biosecurity
systems and building biosecurity capability and capacity.
Queensland Biosecurity Strategy
The Land Protection (Pest and Stock Route Management) Act 2002 establishes a legislative
basis for the management of weeds, pest animals and stock routes throughout Queensland.
It establishes a set of principles to guide pest management, provides a framework for pest
management planning and prescribes certain species as being declared pests.
The Act charges councils with the development of a pest management plan for their local
government area, the purpose of which is to bring together all sectors of the community to
provide for the integrated management of pest plants and animals.
The management of pest plants and animals is also provided for in various legislation
including the Fisheries Act 1994 (noxious and exotic fishes), Plant Protection Act 1989 (plant
pests and diseases) and Nature Conservation Act 1992 (prohibited wildlife).
The Queensland Weeds Strategy 2002-2006 and the Queensland Pest Animal Strategy
2002-2006 establish a state-wide planning framework to provide clear direction to
government, community, industry and individuals for the management of weeds and pest
and problem animals across the state.
