QLD Equine influenza vaccination buffer zone maps


It is now a legal requirement under the Livestock Identification Regulation (2005) for all owners of one or more horses to be registered with the DPI&F. Register your horse ownership and contact details and the LotOnPlan online.

Once registered online, all horse owners that are in the shaded yellow buffers zone should then phone their local veterinarian to make an appointment for vaccination. Vaccination and veterinary costs in the buffer zone are free of charge. If you do not have a veterinarian, phone the DPI&F on 13 25 23 and a DPI&F vet will be assigned to do the vaccination for you.

The proposed vaccination buffer zone shown below may be adjusted as the Vaccination Program progresses to take into account areas of low horse density and other natural barriers to spread of EI infection. However, this fine detail is not available at this stage. Therefore some horse owners who appear to be in the vaccination buffer zone shown below may find that they are not included, particularly those on the edges of the proposed vaccination buffer zone. More detailed maps of the buffer zone boundaries are available from the links at the bottom of the page. Please note the grid reference and find the corresponding map in the list below. (Note that some grids have sub-maps. The first map in the list provides the key.) The maps are in PDF format and will open in a new window.
