The Mosquito Management Code of Practice contains realistic and achievable guidelines and performance indicators that will enable Councils to undertake mosquito management in a way that will reinforce the benefits of utilising best practice to ensure due diligence and compliance with the general environmental duty.

Development of the Code was achieved using guidance and input from a technical reference group. The reference group consisted of representatives from Cairns City, Thuringowa City, Gladstone City, Brisbane City and Gold Coast City Councils as well as LGAQ, Griffith University and relevant government departments.

The Code has been developed under the Environmental Protection Act 1994 and should it be used by Councils when undertaking mosquito management work, it would provide a means of demonstrating that reasonable and practicable measures are being taken to minimise environmental harm from selected mosquito control activities. The Code is not mandatory.
