Biosecurity Act 1993

Pest management - National pathway management plans

86: Making of plan

You could also call this:

"Creating a biosecurity plan that becomes a law"

If the Minister is happy with the things in section 85, they can suggest to the Governor-General that a plan be made into law. The Minister does this by asking for an Order in Council to be made. You can find out more about what this means by looking at the Legislation Act 2019.

When the Minister makes an order like this, it is called secondary legislation. This type of law has to be published in a certain way, as explained in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019. The Minister follows these rules to make sure the plan becomes law.
