BIOSECURITY ACT 2023 (NO. 50 OF 2023) - SECT 200

Authorised people—restricting movement of people

    (1)     An authorised person must not prohibit, regulate or control the movement of a person unless expressly authorised by—

        (a)     an emergency declaration; or

        (b)     a biosecurity direction.

    (2)     However, subsection (1) does not prevent an authorised person from doing anything in relation to any biosecurity matter, premises, area, activity or other thing that has an impact on the movement of a person but is not done for the purpose of restricting the movement of the person.

Example

An authorised person constructs a fence on premises to isolate particular animals from other animals. This may have an impact on the movement of a person but is not done for that purpose.
