The earliest anticipated reinstatement date for all outbreaks above is 27 January 2025. PIRSA’s current management of the fruit fly outbreaks in the combined suspension areas (implementation of Scenario 1) will likely impact reinstatement dates, with the likelihood that an entire 12-month period without detections must elapse before outbreak restrictions can be lifted.
For each outbreak, a 1.5 km Outbreak Area and a 15 km Suspension Area around each detection point have been zoned. Collectively the Outbreak Area and Suspension Area is known as the “Fruit Fly Affected Area” (FFAA).
