Queensland's new Biosecurity Bill

Queensland is developing new biosecurity legislation based on a single, cohesive Biosecurity Act and new subordinate legislation.

The Biosecurity Bill 2011 (the Bill) has been drafted to:

  • enhance the biosecurity capability of government and stakeholders
  • improve biosecurity governance and accountability
  • provide scalable instruments to be used across the biosecurity continuum
  • reduce regulatory burden and administrative overheads.

The Bill was introduced to Cabinet in October 2011 and referred to the Environment, Agriculture, Resources and Energy Parliamentary Committee (EAREC) for consideration.
