Biosecurity Act 2014

The administering executive of an authorised officer must keep a register of all biosecurity orders given by the authorised officer.

The register must contain the following particulars for each biosecurity order—

the real property description of the land to which it relates;

the local government area in which the land is situated;

the day the order was given;

information about biosecurity matter or any other thing to which the order relates;

the action required to be taken under the order;

the period stated in the order for taking the action;

other information prescribed under a regulation.

If the administering executive is satisfied that no further action is required in relation to a biosecurity order, the administering executive may remove the order from the register.

The chief executive may publish the register, or part of the register, on the department’s website.

A person may, on payment of the fee prescribed under a regulation, inspect a register, kept by a chief executive officer of a local government, at the local government’s principal place of business when the place is open to the public.

On application by a person and payment of the fee prescribed under a regulation, a person may buy a copy of all or part of the information held in a register.
