Cassowary Coast Regional Council is actively developing the Draft Cassowary Coast Local Area Biosecurity Plan for 2025-2029, aimed at enhancing our region's resilience against biosecurity threats. This comprehensive plan will provide a strategic framework for managing invasive species, protecting our unique ecosystems, and safeguarding our agricultural industries. It will help coordinate response efforts, allocate resources effectively, clarify legal obligations and engage the community in proactive measures to preserve our environment and economy.

Cassowary Coast Regional Council will update the community and work with key stakeholders throughout the development phase of the plan.

Cassowary Coast Regional Council is hosting upcoming Biosecurity Roadshow workshops from 15 November to 20 November 2024.

These workshops aim to address critical biosecurity challenges facing our region and gather community input for the Draft Cassowary Coast Local Area Biosecurity Plan 2025-2029.

Our guest speakers include representatives from the Cassowary Coast Regional Council, the National Electric Ant Eradication Program, the Australian Banana Growers Council, and Biosecurity Queensland’s Invasive Plant and Animal Science Program. They will share valuable insights and strategies for managing invasive species in our region.
