A management plan establishes a set of measures which must be taken for the control of a declared pest within a specified area. It is issued by the Minister under the BAM Act.
A management plan must:
- identify the area to which the plan relates
- set out the purposes of the plan
- set out the practices to be followed under the plan
- specify any obligations that are imposed on owners, occupiers or other persons for the purposes of the plan.
This page provides details of current management plans. All management plans are published in the Government Gazette.
