Current News
The Australian Plague Locust Commission (APLC) is responsible for monitoring locust populations in inland eastern Australia and for controlling outbreaks (to an acceptable level) that have the potential to inflict significant damage to agriculture in more than one member state as a result of population build-up and migration.
The APLC is jointly funded by the Australian Government and the member states of New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Queensland.
This site has information on locusts in Australia and the activities of the APLC.
