Pest and Weed Management PlanRev 0May 2011Aquatic weed distribution maps produced by Biosecurity Queensland are provided in Appendix7;QGC Gas Field distribution maps will be produced as field distribution data is continually collatedand updated.QGC dams will be monitored to ensure there is no translocation of aquatic weeds associatedwith water releases.4 Pests4.1 Relevant LegislationIn Queensland, the Land Protection (Pest and Stock Route Management) Act 2002 (LP Act) is therelevant legislation regarding animal pests. The LP Act and the Land Protection (Pest and Stock RouteManagement) Regulation 2003 (LP Reg.) provide legislative measures to manage pests and address theimpacts they have on the economy, the environment and society. The Department of Employment,Economic Development and Innovation (DEEDI) administers the pest provisions of the Act and itsregulation.There are three classes of declared animals under the Land Protection (Pest and Stock RouteManagement) Act 2002. These animals are targeted for control because they have, or could have,serious economic, environmental or social impacts. Class 1, 2 and 3 declared animals are listed inAppendix 8.Class 1 pests are not commonly present in Queensland and, if introduced, would cause anadverse economic, environmental or social impact. Class 1 pests established in Queensland aresubject to eradication from the state; if such a pest is sighted it must be reported to the DEEDI.Class 2 pests are established in Queensland and have, or could have, an adverse economic,environmental or social impact. Landowners must take reasonable steps to keep their land freeof Class 2 pest.Class 3 pests are well established in Queensland and have an adverse economic, environmentalor social impact. Landowners are not required to control Class 3 pests unless the land isadjacent to an environmentally significant area. There are a number of environmentallysignificant areas in and around the QGC Gas Field tenements as shown in the QGC Gas Fieldsand Environmentally Significant Areas map contained in Appendix 2.Under the Local Law provisions of the Local Government Act 1993, a local government can declare anyanimals not declared under the LP Act and enforce their control. For example, Eastern Grey Kangaroo,Macropus giganteus, is not a declared pest, yet is a perceived pest when in overabundance. Nondeclaredanimals of concern when in excessive numbers may have significant economic and social35 of 100
