The Northern Biosecurity Group objectives are to take a proactive collaborative approach to the facilitation of declared pest management within its community, utilising a coordinated effort across the region and by working with landholders, government departments, industry groups and neighbouring biosecurity groups to ensure efficient and effective pest management on a regional scale or where appropriate.
The group formed in 2018 after a push from the State Government to establish as a Recognised Biosecurity Group, being the preferred partnership arrangement for the control of widespread and established declared pests. Our objectives:
• Initiate, promote and foster the control of Declared Pests in the Designated Area;
• Encourage landholders and other persons to adopt sound biosecurity practices throughout the Designated Area;
• Foster the sustainable development of the Designated Area;
• Encourage the control of pests other than Declared Pests in the Designated Area;
• Identify direct or indirect funding sources that can be made available for the development of the objects and purposes of the Association;
• Provide Members with a forum to exchange information, advice and assistance where appropriate; and
• Undertake any activity that the Board of Management shall from time to time determine to be in furtherance of the objects of the Association
