Queensland Biosecurity Strategy and Queensland Invasive Plants and Animals Strategy 2019–2023

The management of invasive plants and animals is the shared responsibility of land managers, industry, the community and all levels of government. Shared responsibility is a cornerstone of the Queensland Biosecurity Strategy and the Queensland Invasive Plants and Animals Strategy 2019–2023.

The primary responsibility rests with those who deal with biosecurity matters — they must reduce the risks that their activities create.  A nil-tenure approach that engages all relevant stakeholders is considered best practice, particularly for mobile species. Under this approach, control methods are applied in a collaborative and coordinated manner across all land tenures by all stakeholders at a landscape scale, rather than at an individual property scale.
