REQUIREMENTS
5.1
Outbreaks
Outbreaks of pests and diseases are updated regularly on the NSW DPI Plant Biosecurity current
issues page. Please check the NSW DPI Plant Biosecurity legislation page for the most up-to-date
movement conditions due to outbreaks.
5.2
Regulated Pests and Diseases
To minimise the risk of introducing plant pests and diseases present in other areas of Australia or
confined to a defined area in NSW, specific pests and diseases are proclaimed under the Act. The
movement of items associated with the risk of introducing the proclaimed pest or disease are
regulated. This document contains all the current regulated pests and diseases.

Plant Health certification
Two types of plant health certification are accepted in NSW:
(a)
Plant Health Certificates, issued by an authorised person of the primary industries department of
the relevant State or Territory, and
(b)
Plant Health Assurance Certificates, issued by businesses accredited under an Interstate
Certification Assurance (ICA) scheme or a Compliance Agreement (CA).
In limited circumstances, certification from industry quality assurance schemes are accepted as a form
of certification, such as the Victorian Seed Potato Association (VicSPA) scheme, and the Queensland
Banana Approved Nursery (QBAN) scheme.
Plant Health Declarations are not an accepted certification type in NSW (apart from Notification 15).
Information on pre-importation inspection, certification and treatment requirements may be obtained
from the NSW DPI Plant Biosecurity legislation page or by phoning NSW DPI Regulatory Services
02 6391 3100.
For more information on the ICA scheme and for access to procedures relevant to NSW visit the
Subcommittee on Domestic Quarantine & Market Access site.
5.6
Permits
Permits under section 16 of the Act are not automatically issued and the inclusion in this publication
of the movement conditions that may be included within a permit does not advocate approval of any
individual permit. Each proposed movement is assessed on a case-by-case basis according to the risk
associated with the movement. At least five (5) working days is required to process an application
and prepare a permit. Contact the Unit for further information, or for an application form visit the
NSW DPI Plant Biosecurity permits site.
Some movement conditions specified in the Act’s subordinate legislation are amended through “Class
of Persons” permits. These permits may be found under the relevant subordinate legislation in this
document.
Contact the Plant Product Integrity and Standards Unit, or visit the NSW DPI website for a permit
application form. Alternatively, send an enquiry email to [email protected].

RESOURCE
There are three (3) summary tables in this resource that may be used as a guide to regulated articles in
NSW. All three (3) summary tables should be checked to see if an article is regulated in NSW:

Table 1 – The summary of Regulated Articles due to Orders and Proclamations in NSW groups
all specific references to articles in the subordinate legislation into categories of regulated
articles. This summary excludes movement conditions for host produce for Queensland Fruit
Fly and Mediterranean Fruit Fly. An orange box No with the word “No” against a regulated
article means that either the article is prohibited in NSW, or that there is a condition of entry
which may be found in the indicated Proclamation, Notification, Order or Director’s Approval.
(See Table 1, pages 7-8.)

Table 2 – The NSW Mediterranean Fruit Fly Approved Treatments Summary provides a list of
Mediterranean Fruit Fly (MFF) host produce, and a guide for permitting the entry of host
produce from a MFF endemic or outbreak area, through the application of approved treatments.
These approved treatments are part of the Interstate Certification Assurance scheme and can be
found in the Order. (See Table 2, pages 9-10.) Sources of information for Table 2 can be found
Version 5 – May 2014

Plant Quarantine Manual – Entry Conditions for NSW
in the following websites for: the relevant ICA’s from the Subcommittee on Domestic
Quarantine & Market Access ICA Database site; tropical fruit approved for irradiation treatment
from the Food Standards Australia & New Zealand Food irradiation website and the Fenthion
(Lebaycid) label from the APVMA website. Additional sources of information for Table 2 are
Domestic Quarantine Market Access Working Group (DQMAWG) and Certification Services
Working Group (CSWG) minutes. (See Table 2, pages 9-10)

Table 3 – The NSW Pest Free Area (PFA) Approved Treatments summary provides a list of
Queensland Fruit Fly (QFF) host produce, and a guide for permitting the entry of host produce
from a QFF endemic or outbreak area, through the application of approved treatments. These
approved treatments are part of the Interstate Certification Assurance scheme and can be found
in the Order. Sources of information for Table 3 can be found for: suspended use patterns for
Dimethoate and Fenthion from the APVMA website; the relevant ICA’s from Domestic
Quarantine & Market Access ICA Database site, and tropical fruit approved for irradiation
treatment from the Food Standards Australia & New Zealand Food irradiation site. Additional
sources of information for Table 3 are DQMAWG and CSWG minutes. (See Table 3, pages 1113.)

CONDITIONS OF ENTRY INTO NEW SOUTH WALES
I, Bruce M Christie, Director Animal and Plant Biosecurity of New South Wales Department of Primary Industries and acting in
accordance with Proclamation P169 published in the New South Wales Government Gazette No. 123, 13 October 2006 at pages

approve the following conditions of entry into New South Wales of Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus host plants provided:1.
The plants have been grown under a pest management program which prevents the introduction of Silverleaf whitefly and
Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus (TYLCV) which includes:
(a)
grown in a Silverleaf whitefly proof production facility such as a
screen house or glass house; or
(b)
grown using a treatment and weed control program involving:(i)
(ii)
a program of chemicals registered for the control of
Silverleaf whitefly; and
the removal of weeds from inside the production areas and
areas surrounding production areas; and
(c)
the production facility and surrounding area is monitored for the
presence of Silverleaf whitefly; and
(d)
in the case of material propagated vegetatively from cuttings, the mother plants from which the material is
sourced are tested every six months and found free of TYLCV; and
2.
All host plants to be introduced to NSW are inspected and found free of Silverleaf whitefly and symptoms of TYLCV – for
commercial consignments the rate of inspection is to be 600 plants per consignment (if the consignment contains less
than 600 plants, then all plants are to be inspected);

3.
The host plants are packed so as to exclude the entry and prevent infestation with Silverleaf
whitefly; and

on which the host plants were grown and the name and address of the business that packed the host plants into the
package (where the packer can provide trace back information then ‘grower’ details are not required’).

activity period which is the months April to November inclusive.

Between December and March inclusive, snails are not active and baiting is therefore not effective. Exporters wishing to
export for the first time or who have missed their September / October / November baiting cannot export until their property has
been bait surveyed after the following March and found free from green snail.
