Abstract
In order to develop constructive advice, it is important for the Biosecurity Council to understand the needs and challenges of industry, government and the community, and how changes to the biosecurity system might impact these groups. During 2019/20 the Council continued to monitor biosecurity-related developments at national and State levels and proactively engaged with industry, community and government on biosecurity matters.
The key areas of advice that were progressed during the year were:
- biosecurity research and development
- border biosecurity
- the declaration of non-agricultural pests under the BAM Act; and
- recognised biosecurity groups and declared pest rates
