Biological Control Act 1986

Where a person considers that organisms of a particular kind are causing harm in the State and are, or are likely to be, controllable by biological means, the person may make an application to the Authority for a declaration that organisms of that kind are target organisms for the purposes of this Act.

A target application must be in writing signed—

in the case of an application by a natural person—by the applicant; or

in any other case—by a natural person authorized by the applicant to do so.

A target application in relation to organisms of a particular kind must set out—

particulars identifying the organisms; and

particulars of the reasons why the organisms are considered to be causing harm in the State; and

particulars of the reasons why the applicant considers that the organisms are, or are likely to be, controllable by biological means; and

such other particulars (if any) as are prescribed.
