ARRPA Consultation

Changes to the Declaration of Invasive Plants & Animals under the Agriculture and Related Resources Protection Act 1976

The Department of Agriculture and Food Western Australia (DAFWA) advises that the Agriculture Protection Board (APB) of Western Australia is considering proposals to change the declaration categories of a number of vertebrate (animal), invertebrate and plant species under sections 35 and 36 of the Agriculture and Related Resources Protection Act 1976. It is also proposing the declaration of some vertebrate (animal) and plant species for the first time. 

The proposed changes primarily fall into two groups:

• house-keeping matters
• alterations to reflect current operations or management of the species in Western Australia (WA) and a change to the declaration category for European House Borer.

The APB wishes to inform you of these house-keeping matters and is seeking your feedback on the proposed alterations to reflect current operations or management practices by 5pm on Friday 28 August 2009. Comments, using the feedback forms provided, should be sent to:

Pest and Disease Information Service

Freecall No. 1800 084 881, Fax. (08) 9474 2405, Email, info@agric.wa.gov.au

The current lists of species, declared under sections 35 and 36 of the Agriculture and Related Resources Protection Act 1976 are available: vertebrates and invertebrates, and plants.
