ACT invasive plants, animals and diseases
Pests can compete with and prey on native species, spread parasites and diseases, damage habitats, and harm crops and pastures.
The Biosecurity (Pests) Declaration 2025 lists declared pests within the ACT.
Animal pests
The ACT Pest Animal Management Strategy uses a national approach to managing pests. It focuses on reducing the damage caused by pests, rather than just reducing pest numbers.
