Survey - Impact of Queensland Fruit Fly on the Region

The last season saw a massive increase in Queensland Fruit Fly outbreaks in Victoria, resulting in a devastating impact on home gardeners and horticulturists in the region..

The DPI, as an extension of the Victorian State Government, is trying to assess the impact of the 2011/12 Queensland Fruit Fly response to outbreaks in the local region on ratepayers, tourists and the horticulture industries.

As such, the DPI would be extremely grateful if you could complete the survey available here. The survey does not collect any personal identification data and results will be in an aggregated format. Results from this survey will provide valuable insights to the Victorian Government for developing future response frameworks around Queensland Fruit Fly.

Closing date for the survey is Monday 14 May 2012, so your early attendance to the completion of this survey would be greatly appreciated.
