Division 5—Movement of soil and plants within Australia

67 Removal of soil from Protected Zone (Quarantine Act, ss 5(1) and 13(1)(g))

The removal of soil from the Protected Zone, or an area in the vicinity of the Protected Zone, to a part of Australia south of the parallel 10° 28´ south latitude is prohibited unless a Director of Quarantine has granted a permit for the removal.

Note 1: Area in the vicinity of the Protected Zone means an area about which a notice is in force under subsection 5 (8) of the Quarantine Act, see the definition in subsection 5 (1). A notice under that subsection was published in the Gazette of 14 February 1985. The area described in that notice is the area:

(b) running thence west along the parallel of Latitude 10° 30 00South to its intersection by the meridian of Longitude 141° 20 00 East;

(d) thence east along the parallel of Latitude 10° 28 00 South to its intersection by the Longitude 144° 10 00 East;

(e) thence south along the meridian of Longitude 144° 10 00 East to its intersection by the parallel of Latitude 10° 30 00 South.

Note 2: For what a Director of Quarantine must consider when deciding whether to grant such a permit, see Part 8.

68 Removal of soil from Torres Strait Special Quarantine Zone (Quarantine Act, ss 5(1) and 13(1)(g))

The removal of soil from the Torres Strait Special Quarantine Zone to a part of Australia south of the parallel 10° 28´ south latitude is prohibited unless a Director of Quarantine has granted a permit for the removal.

Note 1: For the definition of Torres Strait Special Quarantine Zone, see section 3.

Note 2: For what a Director of Quarantine must consider when deciding whether to grant such a permit, see Part 8.

69 Removal of plants and plant parts from Protected Zone (Quarantine Act, ss 5(1) and 13(1)(g))

(1) The removal of a thing mentioned in table 17 (other than a thing to which subsection (2) applies) from a part of Australia that is in the Protected Zone, or an area in the vicinity of the Protected Zone, to any other part of Australia south of the parallel 10° 28´ south latitude is prohibited unless a Director of Quarantine has granted a permit for the removal.

Note 1: For the meaning of area in the vicinity of the Protected Zone, see the note following section 67.

Note 2: For what a Director of Quarantine must consider when deciding whether to grant such a permit, see Part 8.

Table 17 Things that must not be moved from the Protected Zone or Torres Strait Special Quarantine Zone

Item	Thing
1	A living plant
2	A fresh fruit or vegetable
3	A plant, or a part of a plant, of any of the following genera or species (whether or not capable of being used for propagation): (a) Musa (bananas) (b) Saccharum (sugar cane) (c) Zea (maize) (d) Manihot esculenta Crantz (cassava) (e) Citrus (e) Gossypium (cotton)
4	A plant of any other species, or part of a such plant, that is capable of being used for propagation

Note 1: For the definition of Torres Strait Special Quarantine Zone, see section 3.

Note 2: For what a Director of Quarantine must consider when deciding whether to grant such a permit, see Part 8.

Part 8—Administration

Note: A reference to a Director of Quarantine includes a delegate—see the Quarantine Act, s 10B.

70 Things a Director of Quarantine must take into account when deciding whether to grant a permit for importation into Australia

In deciding whether to grant a permit to import a thing into Australia or for the removal of a thing from the Protected Zone or the Torres Strait Special Quarantine Zone to the rest of Australia, a Director of Quarantine:

(a) must consider the level of quarantine risk if the permit were granted; and

(b) must consider whether, if the permit were granted, the imposition of conditions on it would be necessary to limit the level of quarantine risk to one that is acceptably low; and

(ba) for a permit to import a seed of a kind of plant that was produced by genetic manipulation—must take into account any risk assessment prepared, and any decision made, in relation to the seed under the Gene Technology Act; and

Note: Level of quarantine risk is defined in section 5D of the Quarantine Act. The definition is as follows:

5D Level of quarantine risk

A reference in this Act to a level of quarantine risk is a reference to:

(a) the probability of:

(i) a disease or pest being introduced, established or spread in Australia, the Cocos Islands or Christmas Island; and

(ii) the disease or pest causing harm to human beings, animals, plants, other aspects of the environment, or economic activities; and

(b) the probable extent of the harm.

Part 10—Revocation and savings

75 Saving of permits already granted

A permit to import a thing continues to have effect according to its terms if the permit:

(a) was granted in accordance with subsection 13(2A) of the Quarantine Act on or after 7 July 1998; and

(b) was in force immediately before 1 January 2005.
