New quarantine rules in effect against polyphagous shot hole borer (PSHB)
Peel Harvey Biosecurity Group (PHBG) is a not-for-profit organisation committed to controlling declared pests across the Peel-Harvey region of Western Australia. We work closely with local members of the community and government agencies to:
implement effective pest management strategies
run annual programs targeting specific invasive species
equip landholders with knowledge and equipment to manage weeds and other pests.
Through community engagement and educational workshops, PHBG strives to safeguard local agriculture and preserve native ecosystems for future generations. Learn more about us.
As of 14 November, a new Quarantine Area is in effect to help contain the PSHB. The entire Perth metropolitan area will be under quarantine to minimise the spread of the beetle, divided into an 'inner management zone' and an outer 'containment' zone.
For more information, see our PSHB page or the department's media release.
