QFly Information
Important Update:
As of 19 August 2025, the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) has announced that the Queensland Fruit Fly (QFly) has been successfully eradicated from Willagee and surrounding suburbs.
Thanks to the enormous efforts of the local community and all site users, the QFly eradication was achieved on 18 August 2025, nine months after the first initial sighting was declared.
Western Australia’s (WA) area freedom for this pest has now been reinstated. The Quarantine Area Notice will be lifted and businesses and residents will no longer be subject to quarantine movement controls on host fruit and vegetables.
This is the tenth time Qfly has been successfully eradicated from the Perth metropolitan area since 1989 and is a great example of how we can all pull together to protect our horticultural industries and environment.
