The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development is continuing its campaign to combat Queensland fruit fly (Qfly) in Coolbellup and surrounding areas.
The Quarantine Area Notice (QAN), which has been in place since 8 January 2021, has been renewed to support additional baiting and surveillance work, after a single male Qfly was trapped in the area at the end of February.There are no changes to the current quarantine restrictions, which prohibit the movement of home-grown and store bought fruit and some fruiting vegetable from the Quarantine Area, and requirements to pick and treat ripe and ripening fruit.
