National Pest Plant Accord deferred

1 December 2015

The four species are:

  • Banksia integrifolia - Coast banksia;
  • Cornus capitata - Strawberry dogwood;
  • Jasminum polyanthum – Jasmine;
  • Rhaphiolepis umbellata - Sexton’s bride, Indian hawthorn, Yeddow hawthorn.

The Steering Group felt that is still did not have sufficient information. In addition feedback following the 2012 review process highlighted the need to examine NPPA processes and procedures in advance of the 2017 species list review.

Consideration of these four species would benefit from the improvements that would arise from the process examination, now scheduled for next year.
