Abstract

This Regulation, consisting of 113 sections divided into twelve Parts and completed by six Schedules, regulates the animal and plant biosecurity. Part 2 specifies Mandatory measures applicable to the biosecurity matter, carrier or dealing to which it relates. Exceptions are prescribed if dealing with Biosecurity Order (Permitted Activities) 2017. A dealing by a person with biosecurity matter or a carrier that would otherwise contravene a mandatory measure is permitted if: a) the said Biosecurity Order specifies that the dealing with the biosecurity matter or carrier can occur if specified conditions are met, and b) the person ensures that all those conditions are met with respect to the dealing. A person who deals with a biosecurity matter or carrier in reliance on the said Biosecurity Order must comply with all relevant conditions of that order in relation to the dealing including a condition that may require something to occur after the dealing. Division 3 specifies Testing to be carried out for prohibited matter; Divisions 4 to 7 specify Animal and Plant pests and diseases (including invasive plant species and weeds). Divisions 9 to 11 specify Animal feeding requirements (including Fertilisers, liming materials and trace element products).
