2021-38: Horticulture – New treatment option for strawberries, scallopinis, honeydew melons, rockmelons and zucchinis exported to New Zealand

2 July 2021

Purpose

First points of entry - airport operator requirements

First points of entry (FPOE) are locations where aircraft and goods that are subject to biosecurity control are permitted to arrive. To be an FPOE, landing places must meet certain requirements.

When the Biosecurity Act commenced in June 2016, existing landing places were issued temporary determinations allowing them to continue to operate as first points of entry (FPOEs). These determinations expired in June 2019.

Ongoing determinations were made for landing places where all operators demonstrated full compliance with FPOE regulatory requirements.
