EI Permits
EQUINE INFLUENZA 24 September 2007
Contact your Rural Lands Protection Board for EI permits
Rural Lands Protection Boards (RLPB) remain the first port of call for movement permits within the red and amber zones under the new equine influenza (EI) protection plan which came into place last Friday.
RLPB officers will review permit applications, then forward eligible requests which meet the requirements of the particular zone to the NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) Local Disease Control Centre.
While the new zoning plan allows some movement, horse owners need to be aware that movements in the red and amber zones are still restrictive. Approval will not be automatic and all applications will be assessed on their merit.
Horse owners in the green zone can move their horses on self-issued Travelling Horse Statements (THS). THS forms have to be downloaded from the NSW DPI website www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/equine-influenza/permits
THS forms must be carried during all horse movements and copies retained for seven weeks.
For movements within the purple zone, permits are not required.
In the short term movements out of the purple zone are prohibited.
People unsure of which board they need to contact can find out on the RLPB website, www.rlpb.org.au/locate.html or from the EI hotline, 1800 675 888.
Full details of the new zoning can be obtained from NSW DPI’s web site.
