Funded Activity Summary

Northern Australia Plant Biosecurity Facility. Quarantine glasshouses (Biosecurity Containment Level 2) are required to develop research with invasive plants. However, in Australia, no quarantine glasshouses exist north of parallel 27 (Brisbane), posing a remarkable barrier to research on tropical biosecurity. This proposal aims to establish a quarantine glasshouse for a broad range of internal and external users, enabling scientists based in the Australian tropics and other interested parties to address plant biosecurity risks from and for northern Australia. Tropical biosecurity is a key area of strategic focus for JCU and its network of partners, who will benefit from the targeted research, quarantine services, and specialized training that will be enabled by this facility.
