Quarantine site at Werribee Park

"Mr Brumby said a quarantine site had also been established at the Werribee Equestrian Centre, which was expected to stable up to 50 horses at a time.

The site has been set up under new quarantine rules that require horses from non-equine influenza zones interstate to spend at least two weeks in quarantine before coming to Victoria, followed by a further two weeks in quarantine in Victoria.

"Victorian horses stranded in NSW by the equine influenza outbreak will be given priority at the Werribee quarantine site, with interstate horses wanting to compete in Victorian races to follow," he said."

The above information was found on The Age website. On further investigating we have found that all of the South side of Werribee Park including the stables and indoor schools have been booked by the DPI for two months. The North side of the Equestrian center including the polo fields and showjumping arenas remain free for competition.

When contacting the Victorian DPI they said a full press release will be available tomorrow.
