DPIRD proposes to amend the Regulations to address these issues and invited feedback on the proposed amendments. The majority of changes are administrative in nature. However, there are also a small number intended to enable the Department to be more responsive, particularly in relation to intra-state biosecurity matters.
A consultation draft of the Biosecurity and Agriculture Management Regulations Amendment Regulations 2019 is attached for your reference, as well as consultation document which includes a summary of the proposed changes.
Consultation closed on Friday 1 March 2019, and a summary report has been published. Please contact Anita Wyntje if you have any queries.
