Biosecurity, Kangaroo Island

In reply to the Hon. F. PANGALLO ().9 February 2023).

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries): I am advised that the reason that there are no biosecurity bins on the ferries is because passengers are discouraged from accessing their vehicles to retrieve honey once their cars are parked on the ferry. I am advised that this is deemed a safety risk by SeaLink; the company that operates the ferries.

In addition to the two biosecurity bins available at the SeaLink terminal at Cape Jervis, there is also a biosecurity bin adjacent to the passenger and vehicle unloading area at Penneshaw.

The bin at Penneshaw is about to be replaced with a new bin, which will have additional biosecurity signage. Another new biosecurity bin is intended to be placed at another location in Penneshaw so it can be accessed by visitors before they arrive at the terminal at Penneshaw.
