The Australian Emergency Plant Pest Response Plan (PLANTPLAN) offers uniform guidelines for responding to emergency plant pest incidents at national, state/territory, and local levels. It outlines national procedures, management structures, and information flow systems.

Each phase of a response is outlined, with details provided on the key roles and responsibilities of industry and government Parties during each phase. PLANTPLAN documentation provides detailed and nationally consistent guidance on response procedures, roles and responsibilities, addresses national operational gaps and includes:

  • guidelines
  • job cards
  • procedures
  • forms and templates.

PLANTPLAN incorporates best practice in emergency plant pest (EEP) responses and is updated as required to incorporate new information or address gaps identified by the outcomes of incident debriefs and/or testing in preparedness activities.

PLANTPLAN is endorsed by all signatories to the Emergency Plant Pest Response Deed (EPPRD).
