South East Queensland has two fire ant biosecurity zones covering parts of Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich, Gold Coast, Redland, Lockyer Valley, Moreton Bay, Scenic Rim and Somerset. They are redrawn every month and reach 5 km past known detections, and if any part of a property touches a zone the whole property is in it.

Inside a fire ant zone the restricted materials are soil and fill, hay and straw, manure, mulch, quarry material, potted plants and turf. To move any of it out of zone 1 you must shift it within 24 hours of delivery, follow the published management steps, or take it to a waste facility inside the zone, otherwise you need a biosecurity instrument permit.
