What's happening

We have approved the introduction of a root-feeding beetle to control the noxious weed moth plant.

We've produced a timeline to show the progress of an application to reassess methyl bromide.

Read the latest application decisions and news from the hazardous substances team.

Submissions are open on an application to import for release the new fungicide, KUSABI.
