Travelling within VICTORIA

Movement of plant products into and/or out of the following zones is regulated:

Victorian Quarantine Checkpoints 
Quarantine fruit disposal bins are strategically placed throughout Victoria. Quarantine roadblocks operate on country roads in Victoria.

Fruit Fly Exclusion Zone (FFEZ) and Greater Sunraysia Pest Free Area (PFA)
The PFA is a highly-protected control area within the FFEZ, guarding major horticultural production districts against fruit fly. It extends along the Murray River from Kerang to Wentworth and north to Pooncarie. Do not take host fruit (including capsicum, chilli, tomato and eggplant) into the FFEZ or the PFA. Further information on the PFA can be found at www.pestfreearea.com.au

Click here to see a map of the Fruit Fly Exclusion Zone

Permanent Fruit Fly Zone
This zone covers a large section of eastern victoria and extends to the NSW border. Do not take host fruit from this zone into other parts of Victoria.

Phylloxera Control Areas 
Control areas have been established in Victoria to prevent the spread of the grapevine pest phylloxera. Signs on major roads indicate when you are entering a Phylloxera Exclusion Zone or leaving a Phylloxera Infested Zone, and that restrictions exist for each zone.

Potato Cyst Nematode (PCN) Control Areas
Potato Plant Protection Districts have been established in the Portland, Colac-Otway and Warragul regions to prevent the entry of potato cyst nematode. Control areas near Wandin, Gembrook and Koo Wee Rup have been established to prevent the spread of PCN. Signs on major roads indicate when you are entering a Plant Protection District or leaving a PCN-infested area.

Toolangi Plant Protection District
The Toolangi Plant Protection District is a protected area in which plant breeding programs are conducted. Do not take any plants, potatoes or berries into this district.

For more information about these zones, please contact DPI Victoria on 136 186 or visit www.dpi.vic.gov.au/psb
