Pest Management in the Whitsundays - We want your feedback on our Biosecurity Plan
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedinEmail this link
Consultation has concluded
Did you know pest plants and animals are estimated to have an economic impact of $600 million a year on the Queensland economy? And there is over 150,000ha of land infested with declared weeds in the Whitsunday region alone?
Pest plants and animals, such as feral pigs and feral cats, can also have a disastrous impact on agricultural production and cause major damage to the natural environment.
To help combat the huge economic and environmental losses caused by pest species, Council is working on the Whitsunday Biosecurity Plan 2016-2020, a document which will guide pest management in the region over the next four years.
The Plan aims to keep all stakeholders and the general community aware of State Government declared pest plants and animals, as well as outlining a strategic plan for the control and reduction of these pest species.
Under the Queensland Biosecurity Act (2014), local governments are required to have a Biosecurity Plan which covers all private and State land, and Council is developing this plan in consultation with key stakeholders and the general community.
