Attention all heavy vehicle operators

Do you operate a heavy vehicle, or utilise heavy vehicles in your daily activities? If so, you could be transporting invasive species without your knowledge.

With funding from the Queensland Government as part of the Better Partnerships Project, the Wide Bay Burnett local governments are supporting responsible heavy vehicle transportation in the Wide Bay Burnett region, and are engaging with heavy vehicle operators to ensure they are aware of their General Biosecurity Obligation (GBO) under the Biosecurity Act 2014.

If you are a heavy transport operator and are seeking more information on how you can be meeting your GBO, please contact Council’s Lands Protection Officer on 1300 696 272 (1300 MY NBRC) or visit the following websites for more information:
