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.

Queensland Fruit Fly (QFF) Management Zones
Some changes have recently been made to Victorian QFF management zones - two new zones have been established and restrictions associated with some others have been modified.

Click here to see a map of Victorian QFF management zones and restrictions on the movement of QFF host fruit.

 

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.
