Washdown station on Frenchmans Cap track Washdown stations must be carefully sited, so that the contaminated water from the stations will flow immediately back into diseased areas. Not all tracks lend themselves to such installations and in other cases natural buffers assist in controlling the spread of the fungus. Other management options include track re-routing, wet weather closure of tracks or if neccessary permanent track closure. A Threat Abatement Team has been established to support the development of plans and actions to minimise the impact of P. cinnamomi . The team comprises of people with an interest in the management of P. cinnamomi in Tasmania.
Members come from a range of community groups and government agencies.
The team can facilitate the involvement of individuals and community groups in P. cinnamomi threat abatement programs around Tasmania. The team's priority is to establish monitoring and management programs for selected populations of susceptible threatened species.
