Abstract

This notice, consisting of 72 sections divided into nine Parts and done under the Stock Act 1915, aims at preventing the spread of cattle tick in Queensland. The purpose of this notice is to prevent, in a way that is consistent with the Australian standard definitions and rules, the spread of cattle tick in the State. The purpose is to be achieved mainly by: a) providing for the State to be divided into the following zones for cattle tick: (i) free zone; (ii) control zones; (iii) a Queensland infected zone; (b) requiring travel permits to be issued for particular movements; (c) making the movement of particular stock conditional on inspection and treatment; (d) provisions that encourage owners of stock to take measures to eradicate or prevent the spread of cattle tick by imposing, in appropriate cases, less stringent requirements or no requirements; (e) recognising that non-chemical treatments may be effective to prevent the spread of cattle tick; (f) requiring particular persons to keep records relating to the inspection or treatment of stock; (g) requiring owners of infected properties in the Queensland free zone to undertake an approved program to eradicate cattle tick. The notice is completed by two Schedules that delimitate the cattle tick areas in Queensland and define the dictionary.
