Goulburn-Murray Water (GMW) acknowledges the importance of biosecurity to farm businesses and primary industry across our region.
Good biosecurity practices help reduce the risk of infectious diseases, invasive pests and weeds entering or spreading through farms, livestock and agricultural businesses.
Livestock producers are required to have a Farm Biosecurity Plan as part of the Livestock Production Assurance (LPA) program.
For information about biosecurity requirements and the LPA program, visit the Meat and Livestock Australia website, opens in a new window.
If you have any concerns about biosecurity that you would like to discuss with GMW, please phone us on 1800 013 357.
Emergency animal diseases
Emergency animal diseases (EADs) are serious diseases that could have significant impacts on Australia's livestock, agricultural industries, trade and the environment.
Australia has strong biosecurity measures in place to help prevent these diseases from entering and spreading within the country. Early detection and reporting are important to help protect our livestock industries.
GMW encourages staff, customers and visitors to remain alert to potential biosecurity risks and follow appropriate biosecurity practices.
