Pursuant to sections 52(d) and 53(2) and (3) of the Biosecurity Act 1993, I give notice that I permit double flowering forms of the organism Calluna vulgaris to be:
(a) knowingly communicated, caused to be communicated, released, or caused to be released,
or otherwise spread;
(b) in a place where organisms are offered for sale
or exhibited;

(d) propagated, bred, or multiplied or otherwise associated with actions likely to encourage or
cause the propagation, breeding, or multiplication
on the following conditions:
1. Plants are only to be sold when in flower.
2. The chief technical officer may initiate monitoring of
the facilities at any reasonable time, in order to ensure conditions are being met.
3. The conditions of this permission may be amended if circumstances change or if new information becomes available.

This permission only applies to double flowering forms of Calluna vulgaris.
All other forms of Calluna vulgaris are still subject to sections 52 and 53 of the Biosecurity Act 1993.
The permission given by this notice is given for the purposes of sections 52 and 53 of the Biosecurity Act 1993 only, and does not constitute an exemption from the requirements of any other relevant legislation.
