Invasive Species Plan for Western Australia 2015-2019.

The Invasive Species Plan for Western Australia 2015-2019 describes actions for the prevention, eradication and containment of and targeted asset protection from invasive species that can harm our economy, environment and way of life. There are five objectives, five goals, 15 strategies and 38 actions; the Plan also recognizes that the success in achieving the objectives is conditioned to collective and collaborative commitment of landholders, community groups, industry and government agencies.
The five Goals are: Goal 1. Setting priorities; Community, industry and government actions in invasive species management are targeted to deliver the greatest benefit from the resources available for prevention, eradication, containment and targeted asset-based protection. Goal 2. Prevention and eradication; Effective border quarantine, surveillance and detection, and eradication actions prevent new high-impact invasive species becoming established in Western Australia. Goal 3. Control of widespread and established invasive species; Landholders, industries and governments work together to reduce the impacts of widespread and established invasive species. Goal 4. Regulation and compliance; Ensure regulatory and compliance mechanisms underpin activities in invasive species management. Goal 5. Information and accountability; Ensure priority setting and continuous improvement in invasive species management is informed by relevant and timely information available to, and shared between, all parties.
