ABARES has released three new spatial datasets of feral deer distribution in Australia: the Current National Relative Abundance of Fallow Deer in Australia (2026), the Current National Relative Abundance of Sambar Deer in Australia (2026) and the Current National Occurrence of Feral Deer in Australia (2026).
Broadacre farmland prices in Australia have generally experienced strong growth since 1992, accelerating in recent years. Prices have increased in 2025, at a more gradual pace.
This report provides a structured way to identify and categorise the wide range of positive and negative social impacts associated with pests and weeds and their management.

This report provides new mathematical modelling techniques to support the design and monitoring of compliance-based biosecurity intervention systems at the Australian border, such as the Compliance-Based Incentive Scheme (CBIS). These systems use a risk-based intervention approach to manage imports while reducing regulatory costs.
