Abstract
There were four key areas in which the Council focused during the year:
- the attributes required by a biosecurity 'combat' agency to effectively sustain a biosecurity response
- funding for biosecurity research and development in WA
- border biosecurity; and
- WA's preparedness for myrtle rust
Developing constructive advice to Government requires a comprehensive understanding of the needs and challenges of industry, Government and the community. It also requires an understanding of how changes to the biosecurity system might impact these groups and affect WA's biosecurity status. During 2018/19 the Council continued to monitor biosecurity-related developments at national and State levels; provided feedback to Government on various biosecurity matters; and participated in a number of industry and community forums.
