Abstract
The Biosecurity Council of Western Australia (the Council) held a stakeholder workshop to explore perspectives on risk-based decision making and biosecurity investment across industry, government and community. This report presents a summary and interpretation of the workshop discussion to enable a statement on ‘where we are at’ in terms of biosecurity decision-making and joint effort.
The workshop process identified clear differences in the current biosecurity priorities of industry, government and community:
- Industry priorities were focused on biosecurity activities that would preserve a profitable/sustainable industry.
- Government priorities were targeted toward prevention and early eradication, but also included ongoing actions for biodiversity protection and broader policy and support systems.
- Community priorities were for on-ground action targeting established pests.
