Biosecurity Queensland leads the Queensland Government’s efforts to prevent, respond to and recover from pests and diseases threatening agricultural prosperity, the environment, social amenity and human health.

Biosecurity Queensland works closely with local governments, communities and other stakeholders to minimise the negative impacts of invasive animals (introduced mammals, reptiles and amphibians), as well as dingoes, locusts, some ants and noxious fish.

Local governments in Queensland are responsible for ensuring that all stakeholders in their area discharge their general biosecurity obligation to manage the impact of invasive animals, in accordance with the local government’s biosecurity plan. Your local government’s biosecurity plan is available on your local governments website.

It is worthwhile to contact your local government prior to undertaking a management program to find out if there is a coordinated program occurring in your local area. Some local governments provide access to equipment and specialist advice.
