The CRBA is a not-for-profit association formed under the Associations Incorporation Act 2015, providing declared pest control assistance for land managers throughout Shark Bay, Carnarvon, Exmouth, Murchison, and Upper Gascoyne Shires, along with those pastoral properties below the State Barrier Fence in the Shire of Northampton and City of Greater Geraldton (Locality of Mullewa).
The associations’ primary purpose is the control of declared pests utilising funding from the Declared Pest Rates paid by landholders on these pastoral stations. These Declared Pest Rates funds are matched dollar for dollar by the WA Government to reflect the public benefit of controlling declared pest animals and weeds on these leasehold lands.
The association is formally recognised by the Honourable Minister for Agriculture and Food as a recognised biosecurity group (RBG).
The Carnarvon Rangelands Biosecurity Association (CRBA) aligned its aims directly to it objects in the groups’ constitution. These are:
• Foster the control of declared pests throughout the Area, via the formulation, implementation, and review of appropriate management plans and programs.
• Focus on improving further integration, coordination, and general collaboration of all Area stakeholders in pest management matters.
• Promote the adoption of sound biosecurity practices throughout the Area.

Ongoing management of declared pests across our vast region, including within with Rangelands NRM on two different projects and meeting the obligations of the State required by our funding agreements.

The CRBA has worked with industry and government alike to assist land managers/holders across our vast region to meet their obligations under the BAM Act to manage declared pests weeds and animals.
