There are two main groups registered under this system: research laboratories and vaccine or therapeutics manufacturers. Both categories pose a potential biosecurity risk, as conditions restricting the product to a particular facility cannot be applied.
The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry approves people to carry out specific biosecurity activities at particular places in Australia. These activities may be carried out on plants, animals, plant and animal products or microorganisms. Activities undertaken at approved places manage biosecurity risks associated with imported goods.
The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry approves commercial, private and government sites for the purpose of holding goods subject to biosecurity control. To gain this approval, microbiological, animal, aquatic, plant, and invertebrate facilities must meet certain structural and procedural requirements.
This section presents results for each of the indicators tested in this case study. The key uses and limitations of each indicator are explained, and conclusions are drawn as to its usefulness of the indicator for monitoring of changes in the forest industry.
This report presents results of a case study in which recommended indicators for monitoring the social and economic impacts of forestry were tested in the ‘Green Triangle’ region of south-east South Australia and south-west Victoria.
