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

Ord River Irrigation Area
Uncertified citrus and stone fruit are prohibited entry into the Ord River Irrigation Area (Kununurra) from 1 April to 30 November. Check other fruit you are carrying, to reduce the risk of introducing fruit fly.

Broome area
To prevent the spread of palm leaf beetle, there are restrictions on the movement of any palm plants and foliage out of the Broome area.

Perth metropolitan area 
Potatoes from the Perth metropolitan area are restricted in movement to other potato-growing areas as a precaution against potato cyst nematode.

Carnarvon and Kununurra areas  
Banana plants, leaves and soil are restricted in movement from the Carnarvon and Kununurra areas to prevent the spread of banana aphid, banana weevil borer or Panama wilt. Banana fruit is not restricted in movement.

Kimberley region 
The entry or taking delivery of hosts of the pest silverleaf whitefly is prohibited into the Shires of Broome and Wyndham East Kimberley from parts of Western Australia outside the Kimberley region, unless certified by Quarantine WA.
