The future
Q: How will the BAM Act meet the State’s future biosecurity needs?
A: The BAM Act provides for an integrated approach to the management of biosecurity issues by establishing a biosecurity continuum from pre-border to border and post-border management of biosecurity threats.
The amalgamation of the Acts that the BAM Act replaces ensures that a consistent approach is taken in areas that previously had distinct legislation.
The BAM Act has significant consultation requirements that ensure scrutiny by government agencies and the community to ensure that decisions are open and transparent.
