Large Expansion of Northcote Point Fruit Fly Zone A
Two more Queensland fruit flies have been found in Northcote Point. The sixth was found 650m away from the original find, which has meant an extension of Zone A (red area) to include a much larger part of Northcote Point. There is no change to the wider Zone B (yellow area).
If you live in Zone A (red area) where the fruit flies have been discovered, then there is a total ban on the movement of ALL fruit and vegetables (with some exceptions), including peelings, fruit stones, etc.
"If in doubt, don't take it out!"

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
