Fruit fly outbreak in South Australia prompts biosecurity experts to outline dos and don’ts

Two Queensland fruit fly outbreaks in South Australia’s Riverland region in the past two weeks have caused serious problems for the region’s fruit producers, who are working in a frenzy to adhere to new quarantine restrictions.
Key points:
- PIRSA has declared two separate 1.5km outbreak areas, and a 15km suspension zone around both outbreak areas
- People cannot move fruit outside the suspension zone unless it has been treated
- Fruit within the two 1.5km outbreak areas must not be moved at all
But it’s also left the wider community and travellers visiting during the region’s peak tourist season questioning what the rules are when living within or passing through a fruit fly suspension zone.
