E.I. UPDATE
Dear Committee,
Changes to Event Management and Movement Requirements from 30 June 2008
The Requirements on Event Organisers are:
1. To register their event with the Department of Primary Industries and Fisheries (DPI&F) by completing an Event Notification Form online via www.dpi.qld.gov.au or by calling the DPI&F Business Information Centre on 13 25 23
2. Must retain a record of the information provided to them by competitors attending the event for a period of six months from the date of the event
3. Encourage basic Biosecurity. All this information is available on-line at www.dpi.qld.gov.au
4. If any horse has a nasal discharge, is coughing and has a temperature over 38.5 degrees Celsius it must be reported to DPI&F where a veterinarian will make an assessment for exclusion testing (ruling out equine influenza). We are very confident that no horses will have equine influenza. However, there are some diseases that have some clinical signs similar to equine influenza.
The Requirements on Competitors are:
1. Travel Documents
All horses in Queensland can now move freely throughout the State without the need for a Waybill. However, when moving horses across the Queensland Cattle Tick Line, you will require a Move Easy Waybill in addition to a Travel Permit issued by an Inspector. The permit requirements will vary depending on the place of origin, the intended destination, and the time spent away from the place of origin. These permit conditions must be adhered to or your Travel Permit may be cancelled. An inspection and treatment for Cattle Ticks may also be required. If required, multiple movement permits are available.
Information on moving across the Tick Line can be obtained from your local DPI&F Biosecurity Inspector. Call 13.25.23 for the location of your nearest DPI&F Office.
For Horses travelling Interstate, you are required to contact the Department of Primary Industries Office in the Sate or Territory to which or through which you plan to travel.
2. Documentation Required For Event Organisers
Persons in charge of a Horse/s attending an Event must provide the following information to Event Organisers
- The number of horses they are in charge of at the Event
- The Property Identification Code (PIC) for the property from which the horse/s had travelled to attend the event
- The name and address of the ‘Person in Charge’ of the horse or horses at the event.
