Biosecurity directions—restricting movement of people
149 Biosecurity directions—restricting movement of people
In an emergency, a biosecurity direction may do 1 or more of the following:
prohibit, regulate or control entry into, or exit from, any stated premises or stated area;
prohibit, regulate or control the use of any road within, or going into or out of, any stated premises or stated area (including by closing roads).
A biosecurity direction must not prohibit, regulate or control the movement of a person, except as expressly—
provided in subsection (1); or
authorised by an emergency declaration.
However, subsection (2) does not prevent a biosecurity direction being imposed in relation to any biosecurity matter, premises, area, activity or other thing, that has an impact on the movement of a person but is not imposed for the purpose of restricting the movement of the person.
