The site of a pet quarantine complex in Melbourneâs north has emerged as a contender for Victoriaâs alternative quarantine facility for returning travellers, with the state government set to make an announcement as soon as Thursday.
Following almost three months of assessing various locations across the state, the Mickleham Post-Entry quarantine site could soon also host cabin accommodation, similar to the Northern Territoryâs Howard Springs site, as an alternative to hotel quarantine.
The federally owned pet quarantine facility at Mickleham spans 144 hectares.
Currently used by the federal Agriculture Department to quarantine animals, including cats, dogs, horses, birds and bees, the site is about 30 kilometres north of Melbourne Airport and 45 kilometres north of the CBD.
