Fruit Fly Control Awareness Working Group:

Broken Hill is currently in the Fruit Fly Exclusion Zone and it is unlikely that Broken Hill will be reinstated into the ‘Pest Free Area’ as Queensland fruit fly is now considered endemic to NSW. Queensland fruit fly is now in mass numbers across the State and there is no Government obligation at any level (local/State/Federal) to control Queensland fruit fly in backyard fruit trees.

The current NSW Government policy around Plant Biosecurity & Product Integrity (TI-O-150) specifies that backyard Queensland fruit fly management is the responsibility of the land owner, however community groups may be formed to help control pest and provide information and guidance. 

To this end Council is establishing a Fruit Fly Control Awareness Working Group to provide a strategic focus on community education programs for the backyard management of Queensland Fruit Fly in and around Broken Hill.
