The multi million dollar upgrade to the biosecurity facilities at the Elizabeth Macarthur Agricultural Institute, in Sydney’s southwest, is part of the State Governments plan to protect New South Wales from pests and diseases. The laboratory facilities were constructed in the 1980s to the highest international standards at the time. Over the years, laboratory standards have become more stringent and an upgrade was necessary to meet the current international biosecurity standards and retain accreditation.
