5 s3 Plant Protection Amendment Bill 2007

Subsections (3) and (4), other than the requirement to consider relevant circumstances under subsection (4)(c), do not apply if the chief executive is satisfied it is no longer possible to prevent or control the spread of the quarantine area pest in Queensland.

If all of Queensland is the subject of a pest quarantine area for any pest, an approved plant declaration may be made even if the planting or cultivating of an approved plant variety under the declaration may spread the pest to a crop plant within the relevant quarantine area.'.
