One Queensland fruit fly (QFF) outbreak is currently being managed in metropolitan Adelaide by PIRSA as below.
| Outbreak name | Declaration Date |
| Salisbury North | 4 March 2024 |
The earliest anticipated reinstatement date for the above outbreak is 13 January 2025.
A 1.5km radius Corrective Action Zone (previously known as the red Outbreak Area) and a 15 km radius Export Assurance Zone (previously known as the yellow Suspension Area) around the Epicentre has been put in place. Collectively these Zones are known as the Controlled Movement Zone (previously known as the Fruit Fly Affected Area). Restrictions now apply to the movement of winegrapes out of, into and transiting the Controlled Movement Zone. These restrictions have impacts on vineyard owners, receiving wineries and carriers.

IN THE INTERIM
Each winegrape load being consigned out of, or into the Salisbury North Controlled Movement Zone (previously known as the Fruit Fly Affected Area) must be:
- Accompanied by a cart note (or equivalent) indicating the address of the sending vineyard and the address of the receiving winery.
- Consigned to prevent spillage – filled to no higher than 200mm from the top lip of the bin/truck.
For winegrape loads being consigned to a receiving winery where the route of travel has traditionally involved movement through the Salisbury North Controlled Movement Zone (refer map):
- Change the route of travel to avoid transiting the Controlled Movement Zone.
- For trucks currently on the road and transiting the Controlled Movement Zone – do not stop, offload or backload inside the Controlled Movement Zone.
