Biosecurity and Agriculture Management (Declared Pest Account) Regulations 2014.

The Biosecurity and Agriculture Management (Declared Pest Account) Regulations 2014 in Western Australia outline provisions under the Biosecurity and Agriculture Management Act 2007. These regulations govern the establishment and operation of the Declared Pest Account, which funds the management of widespread and established declared pests in specific areas of WA. These regulations prescribe areas, establish consultation requirements for determining rates chargeable on land, define the prescribed flat-rate amount, and repeal previous regulations pertaining to the Declared Pest Account Rate Consultation. The regulation mandates that affected landowners must be consulted before rate determinations are finalized, including publishing notices in relevant newspapers and issuing individual notices under specific circumstances. Additionally, these regulations identify local government districts as prescribed areas for biosecurity management purposes.
