Horse flu zones to change soon: Qld Racing

Queensland Racing says planned changes to the zoning for horse flu could occur sooner-than-expected.

Yesterday industry representatives and the Department of Primary Industries met to discuss progress after a continued decrease in the number of properties infected.
Queensland Racing spokesman Malcolm Tuttle says the amber zone in the state's south-east could be converted to a green zone within weeks.
He says changes to the red zone have also been flagged.
"Rather than the zones incurring changes in March this year, its likely to in fact occur sooner," he said.
"We have a meeting with the DPI again this afternoon to discuss those changes and from a thoroughbred industry standpoint we need to understand what impact they may have on our industry."
