Two more Queensland fruit floes have been found in Northcote Point. The sixth was found 650m away from the original find, which has meant an extension of Zone A (red area) to include a much larger part of Northcote Point. There is no change to the wider Zone B (yellow area).
If you live in Zone A (red area) where the fruit flies have been discovered, then there is a total ban on the movement of ALL fruit and vegetables (with some exceptions), including peelings, fruit stones, etc.
“If in doubt, don’t take it out!”
