Submission to Biosecurity Strategy Action Plan

ALGA has provided a submission to the Federal Government’s National Biosecurity Strategy Action Plan.

The submission highlighted local governments are vital delivery partners in Australia’s biosecurity regime.

Councils in urban, regional, rural or remote areas play a role in supporting public awareness and
education, contributing to surveillance, undertake regulation, undertaking weed and pest control,
and contributing to emergency response for biosecurity incidents.   They also provide information
and local insights to other tiers of government to support national biosecurity outcomes.
