The 21-page report argues that all presently undeclared Victorian municipalities should be immediately declared as regions subject to termite infestation.
Subterranean termites (termites) are prevalent throughout the whole of Victoria, Australia.
Termites pose an economic risk to homes, buildings and structures in all Victorian municipalities.
Responsible termite risk management calls for all municipalities state wide to be declared as regions in which homes, buildings and structures are likely to be subject to termite infestation.
Redesignation of undeclared (unprotected) municipalities to declared status can simply be done, with little or no cost, by state legislation or individual council motion.
