The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) are running a Have Your Say consultation. 

 

Under the Hitchhiker Pest Program, DAFF are developing a new policy for managing biosecurity risks associated with containers. The proposed policy involves new types of approved arrangements, particularly in wharf and port areas. 

The survey provides the opportunity to: 

  • Indicate whether these approved arrangements would be of interest to you.
  • Identify any concerns you may have.
  • Provide any comments or suggestions on what is proposed. 
Documents attached to the survey include background information and drafts of the proposed approved arrangements. 

Your input will help the department to refine policy and implementation processes for these arrangements. 

The "Have Your Say" consultation will be open from the 
27 August 2024 to 5pm on Tuesday 8 October.
