To stop of spread of the polyphagous shot-hole borer (PSHB), the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) has approved green waste sites under the general exemption outlined in the PSHB Quarantine Area Notice - Walliston Transfer Station is listed as an approved facility. There will be regular inspections to ensure that plant material is managed in accordance with the requirements of the Quarantine Area Notice.

We request that when transporting green waste, you must ensure it is securely transported in a fully sealed and covered in your trailer or vehicle.

A quarantine area (QA) is in place across 30 local government areas in Perth, WA. This helps contain the spread of the borer. It also allows for surveillance activities to be undertaken.

The QA now encompasses two zones, Zone A and Zone B. The requirements for each zone are outlined on the WA DPIRD website.

You cannot move bark, potted plants, firewood, tree pruning's, logs, plant cuttings, mulch, timber, wood or wood chips out of the QA. These can act as a host and spread the beetle.

The polyphagous shot-hole borer does not affect grass. Lawn clippings can be disposed of as normal.
