Pest species include restricted and prohibited (but present) invasive species defined in the Biosecurity Act (2014), as well as several unlisted but emerging pests. A full description of the survey method is described here. The complete list of species mapped during each survey is also available from this page. The survey grid is based on the Australian 100k topographic map series across all of Queensland, and each grid cell size is approx. 0.167 x 0.167 degree (10mins). Pest presence or absence is mapped to a vector grid. If the pest is present, an indication of density and distribution is also recorded. The information is collected via a series of workshops across Queensland, where pest 'experts' participate in the survey, including representatives from Local Government, NRM bodies and other agencies involved in pest management. The dataset is subsequently reviewed by pest management ‘experts’ where available, prior to publication. 'Absent' cells have been removed to reduce dataset size. The dataset includes surveys conducted in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011-12, 2013-14, 2018 and 2022-23. From 2012 onwards, the surveys were also informed by data contributed by participants and from data repositories such as Atlas of Living Australia, Feral Scan and Queensland Herbarium. The 2022-23 survey included a density / distribution value of 'extirpated', to indicate where the pest was historically present but has been removed or locally eradicated. Extirpated cells include records where the pest has not naturalised.2006 survey includes 47 invasive plants, 10 invasive animals and 1 invasive ant species, most of these are declared Class 1, 2 or 3 pest species as defined in the Land Protection (Pest and Stock Route Management) Act 2002, as well as 4 undeclared species. 2007 survey includes 31 invasive plants and 5 invasive animals all of these are declared Class 1, 2 or 3 pest species as defined in the Land Protection (Pest and Stock Route Management) Act 2002.2008 survey includes 58 invasive plants and 12 invasive animals; 19 are declared Class 1, 26 are declared Class 2, and 7 are declared Class 3 as defined in the Land Protection (Pest and Stock Route Management) Act 2002; as well as 18 undeclared species.2009 survey includes 65 invasive plants and 1 invasive animal; 17 are declared Class 1, 23 are declared Class 2, and 10 are declared Class 3 as defined in the Land Protection (Pest and Stock Route Management) Act 2002; as well as 16 undeclared species.2011-12 survey (referred to as 2012 survey) includes 53 invasive plants and 8 invasive animals; 11 are declared Class 1, 24 are declared Class 2, and 11 are declared Class 3 as defined in the Land Protection (Pest and Stock Route Management) Act 2002; as well as 15 undeclared species.2013-14 survey (referred to as 2014 survey) includes 50 invasive plants, 14 invasive animals and 1 invasive ant species; 25 are declared Class 1, 28 are declared Class 2, and 4 are declared Class 3 as defined in the Land Protection (Pest and Stock Route Management) Act 2002; as well as 8 undeclared species.2018 survey includes 17 invasive plants, 2 invasive animals and 1 invasive ant; 18 are listed as Restricted species under the Biosecurity Act 2014, whilst 2 species are not listed.2022-23 survey (referred to as 2023 survey) includes 58 invasive plants and 4 deer species that were collated via the mapping workshops; whilst the remaining 39 species were mapped using internal datasets, cross-referenced against expert advice from Biosecurity Queensland operational personnel. 79 species are listed as Restricted species and 23 are listed as Prohibited species under the Biosecurity Act 2014. The dataset is intended to provide a comprehensive, broad-scale distribution of pests across all of Queensland. © State of Queensland (Department of Agriculture and Fisheries), 2024 Moya Calvert Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries Senior Biosecurity Officer moya.calvert@daf.qld.gov.au Every 5 years or thereabouts.
