Description
Use this Biosecurity Sign only when the responsible authority, approved-arrangement holder or site controller has confirmed that the printed controlled-area message is required. The verified yellow-and-black landscape artwork reads BIOSECURITY AREA, NO ENTRY OR REMOVAL OF GOODS, AUTHORISED PERSONNEL ONLY, HEAVY PENALTIES APPLY and BIOSECURITY ACT 2015. It has no pictogram, site name, contact field or class-specific instruction. The landscape catalogue sizes are 300 × 225 mm, 450 × 300 mm and 600 × 450 mm. Polypropylene is preselected as the practical rigid option. Self-adhesive vinyl suits a clean, smooth surface; 5 mm Corflute suits temporary identification; and Colorbond steel provides a stronger mechanically fixed face. Optional holes apply only to rigid materials, while lamination and reflective film appear only with a compatible vinyl selection. Confirm any specified substrate, text height, overall size, durability or permanent-fixing condition before choosing a variant. Install the sign at each relevant approach where it can be read before a person enters or removes goods. Keep the complete wording unobstructed and maintain the face in a legible condition. Some Commonwealth approved-arrangement conditions require a durable, securely affixed and prominently displayed yellow-and-black sign, but the exact conditions vary by arrangement class and direction. Follow the controlling approval or instruction rather than treating one general placement rule as universal. The printed face does not establish a biosecurity area, authorise access restrictions, determine whether an offence occurred or certify compliance. It is also not automatically a farm Biosecurity Management Plan notice: this artwork does not identify a plan, contact person or visitor conditions. Confirm the applicable Commonwealth or state framework, approved-arrangement class, controlled goods, access protocol, required wording and legal review before installation.
This fixed Biosecurity Area face does not establish a controlled area, determine an offence or certify compliance. Confirm the applicable Commonwealth or state framework, responsible authority, approved-arrangement class, exact wording, material, size, placement and supporting controls before installation.

Frequently asked
What wording is printed on this Biosecurity sign?
The verified landscape artwork has a yellow field with black text and border. It reads BIOSECURITY AREA, NO ENTRY OR REMOVAL OF GOODS, AUTHORISED PERSONNEL ONLY, HEAVY PENALTIES APPLY and BIOSECURITY ACT 2015. It has no pictogram, contact field or site-specific instructions.
Where is this controlled-area face used?
This wording is associated with controlled biosecurity areas where goods subject to biosecurity control are stored, handled or treated under an applicable Commonwealth approved arrangement or site direction. Confirm the responsible authority, approved-arrangement class, exact wording and access procedure for the location before ordering.
Can I use this as a general farm-gate or Biosecurity Management Plan sign?
Not by assumption. This fixed face does not state that a farm Biosecurity Management Plan applies, identify a contact person or list visitor conditions. For example, NSW farm guidance calls for property-entry signage that tells visitors a plan is in place and who to contact. Use a site-specific farm or plan notice when those are the required instructions.
Does installing the sign create a biosecurity area or make penalties apply?
No. The printed reference to the Biosecurity Act 2015 does not itself establish a controlled area, authorise restrictions, determine an offence or certify compliance. Those consequences depend on the applicable legislation, approval, direction, site status and facts. Obtain direction from the responsible biosecurity authority or approval holder when the legal basis is uncertain.
Which material, size and mounting option should I choose?
Polypropylene is the default rigid option. Self-adhesive vinyl suits a clean smooth surface, 5 mm Corflute suits temporary identification, and Colorbond steel provides a stronger mechanically fixed face. The landscape sizes are 300 × 225 mm, 450 × 300 mm and 600 × 450 mm. Confirm any mandated durability, wording, text-height, size and permanent-fixing requirements for the approved area; optional holes apply only to rigid materials.
What volume discounts apply?
Automatic volume pricing is 5–9 signs: 8% off, 10–24 signs: 15% off, 25–49 signs: 24% off, 50–99 signs: 32% off, 100+ signs: 40% off. The configurator is the source of truth and updates the unit price as quantity changes.
