STABLE FLY — MANAGEMENT PLAN
977. Hon COLIN de GRUSSA to the Minister for Agriculture and
Food:
I
refer to question without notice 231 asked by me on 23 March 2022 regarding the
stable fly action group, or SFAG, and to the review of the 2019 stable
fly management plan.
(1) When will the
review referred to in the minister's answer to question without notice
231, which states that it is due to be completed in September or October this
year, be completed; and will the minister commit to tabling this review?
(2) Is the 2023
review as proposed in correspondence to SFAG an additional review to that
proposed in the response to question without notice 231?
(3) Will the
minister reconvene the regulatory reference group to undertake the proposed
2023 review of the SFMP; and, if not, why not?
Hon
ALANNAH MacTIERNAN replied:
I thank the member for the
question.
(1)–(3) I
have requested that the Department of Primary Industries and Regional
Development assists Hon Darren West, MLC, with an interim review of the stable
fly management plan 2019 following the completion of the first year of
operation. I will report on that review before the house rises this year. A
full review of the SFMP will commence in mid-2023. This will allow for two
years of data to be collected under full operation of the management measures
and controls of the current SFMP and ensure accurate data is informing the
review. The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development will
consult with key stakeholders regarding the process for the SFMP review.
Arrangements for the release of the review will be considered as part of this.
I am hoping that when I provide my report, we can confirm some design of that
full review.
