Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       The MPI’s consultation on proposed amendments to the Biosecurity Act (the Act) is open for public submission from 19 September 2024, with a closing date of 29 November 2024.

3.       The main purpose of these proposed amendments is to update and modernise the Act. The consultation package contains more than 70 proposals that span across a range of areas in the biosecurity system. The proposals look to amend the framework and legislative tools within the Act that allow for the biosecurity system to operate effectively and are generally technical in detail.

4.       Local board feedback is due to by 25 October for inclusion in the drafting of the council submission. To strengthen the submission and aid in its clarity, staff will consider and incorporate local board feedback into the draft submission where possible to create a strong and clear voice for the Auckland region. The council’s draft submission will be considered by the Policy and Planning Committee at its 14 November 2024 meeting.
