Plant Biosecurity – The National Exposure
• On average Australia records between 30 – 40 plant pest incursions each year. Source: Plant Biosecurity CRC
• Recent incursions of note include:
• Multiple mealybugs (Qld)• Electric ant (Qld)• Green snail (Vic)• Russian wheat aphid (SA)• Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (NT)• Giant pine scale (Vic & SA)• Pyriform scale (WA)• Panama TR4 (Qld)• Tomato potato psyllid (WA)
• Red imported fire ant (NSW)• Mango malformation (NT)• Potato spindle tuber viroid (WA)• Cocoa pod borer (Qld)• Chestnut blight (Vic)• Lettuce aphid (TAS)• Myrtle rust (NSW)• Vegetable leaf miner (Qld)• Banana freckle (NT)
An Increasing Biosecurity Risk for Horticulture• “Biosecurity risks are growing due to increased global trade and travel,
increased agricultural expansion and intensification, increased urbanisation close to farmlands, and other factors such as climate change.” Source: IGAB Draft Report December 2016
• Kevin Chennell – Executive Director Biosecurity DAFWA "If you look at the number of incidents for biosecurity in Australia it's definitely going up. If you look at the number of incidents related to biosecurity in Western Australia it's definitely going up.“ Source: ABC Rural 26/04/17
• Frank Fox – Biosecurity Queensland “The 2015 Queensland Biosecurity Capability Review concluded that the state is experiencing unprecedented challenges to its ability to respond to the increasing number, scale and scope of pest and disease threats.” Source: The Chronicle 12/05/17
Biosecurity risk promoters increase farm pressures
• On-farm risk promoters• Source of planting material (high health)• Location of planting material (interstate)• Continuity of input supply (reliable)• Labour movement (domestic & international)• Vehicle & equipment (on & off farm movement)• Management system (internal verification)
• Off-farm risk promoters• Increasing international travel• Increasing domestic travel• Domestic & international migration• Increasing international trade• Declining government biosecurity investment• Reduced government biosecurity service delivery
“In August 2015, the Victorian Auditor-General reported a reduction in the Victorian Government’s ability to detect, respond and prepare for an emergency response outbreak.” Source: IGAB Draft Report December 2016
“Between 2013 and 2025, containerised imports are forecast to rise by 50%, non-containerised imports by 27% and air cargo imports are expected to be double that of air cargo exports with
inbound air travel arrivals expected to rise by 93%.” Source: IGAB Draft Report December 2016

Nursery Production – Supply Chains
• Nursery Production in Australia
• Located in every state & territory – a broadly dispersed industry underpinning most horticulture plant industries.
• Supply chains (varied):• Urban retail e.g. Bunnings, etc.
• Landscape greenlife e.g. Urban development
• Fruit & Vegetable e.g. Citrus or tomato farmer
• Forestry e.g. Pine or eucalypt timber plantations
• Revegetation e.g. Riparian zones & mine sites

Significant plant movement across borders• Production nurseries consolidating – economies of scale• Capacity to meet increased consignment sizes due to larger
farms• Exclusive propagation rights (variety access)• Consolidation of technical skills (grafting)• Greater transport options = maintenance of quality
BioSecure HACCP a
Systems Approach BioSecure HACCP is the on-farm biosecurity program for Australian
production nurseries
BioSecure HACCP Guidelines provide a systematic approach for production nurseries to assess their biosecurity hazards and identify critical control points – achieved through documented procedures
The program seeks to identify internal and external threats to the integrity of a business’s biosecurity preparedness.
Recognises business skill sets and capacity in pest risk management progressing to self certification for market access.
BioSecure HACCP
Underpinning strengths of BioSecure HACCP Industry owned
Independently audited
Risk assessment based approach
Technical assistance provided on-farm
Action planning & prioritisation assistance (BMP)
Technologically adaptive management systems
Recognising current on-farm practices
On-farm records demonstrate due diligence
Driven by continuous improvement
Focused on business profitability & sustainability
Rapidly adaptable to industry needs and technological advances
Capacity to integrate resources and on-farm activities into the system
A whole farm pest management plan (insect/disease & weed)
BioSecure HACCP
Government benefits Industry benefits
Shared responsibility/co-regulation Shared responsibility/co-regulation
Red tape reduction Recognition of good horticultural practice
Resource utilisation improvements Enhanced trading flexibility
Efficiency through electronic systems Improved productivity
Enhanced traceability Cost reductions
Building a robust biosecurity system Prompt return to trade after EPP detection
BioSecure HACCP is the result of a generic Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) based risk assessment of production nurseries validating the activities described in the Nursery Industry Accreditation Scheme Australia (NIASA) Best Management Practice Guidelines and addressing identified gaps.

Market Access through BioSecure HACCP
• Implement 43 Procedures and Record across 26 templates
• Upload completed records to the Audit Management System (AMS)• Web based platform for certified growers to store data and client information• Each grower has protected business folder in AMS with restricted access• AMS generates interstate Biosecurity Certificates for plant movement
• Implement pest specific Entry Condition Compliance Procedures (ECCP’s)• ECCP’s developed by NGIA and submitted and approved by receiving jurisdiction• Nominate competent staff and train against ECCP criteria (on-line)• Apply for approval and certification against the specific ECCP(s)• Audited for compliance against the ECCP(s)• Self certify for market access (similar to ICA system except industry managed)

BioSecure HACCP
Co-regulation with government
• National – Plant Health Committee (PHC) November 2015
• State – Sub-committee on Domestic Quarantine & Market Access (SDQMA) • Legislative support (Qld, NSW & TAS) + bridging authorities (Vic, SA, WA & NT)
• Recognition of ‘high health’ status of certified growers
• Harmonised interstate market access
• State government biosecurity agencies provide oversight through SDQMA• Approve state/pest specific Entry Condition Compliance Procedure (ECCP)
