Enhancing Biosecurity: Proposed Truck Wash Facilities for South Australia's Livestock Industry

Livestock SA has partnered with ACIL Allen and GHD to explore the development of biosecurity truck wash facilities for South Australia’s livestock transhipping hubs. Two key reports outline this critical work:

1. Basis of Design Report
   This report establishes the technical and functional requirements for truck wash facilities designed to improve livestock biosecurity and environmental management. The proposed facilities will cater to livestock transport needs, ensuring compliance with biosecurity, environmental, and safety standards.
2. Preliminary Business Case
   This report assesses the feasibility of establishing truck wash facilities in key regions, focusing on three priority locations: Adelaide-Fleurieu Peninsula/Kangaroo Island, Northern Pastoral (Port Augusta), and Murray-Mallee (Murray Bridge/Tailem Bend). The business case evaluates the financial, operational, and biosecurity benefits of these facilities while exploring investment and funding models.

These reports highlight the importance of strategic truck wash facilities in enhancing biosecurity and supporting South Australia's livestock industry.
