Quarantine glasshouses (Biosecurity Containment Level 2) are required to develop research with invasive plants. However, in Australia, no quarantine glasshouses exist north of parallel 27 (Brisbane), posing a remarkable barrier to research on tropical biosecurity. This proposal aims to establish a quarantine glasshouse for a broad range of internal and external users, enabling scientists based in the Australian tropics and other interested parties to address plant biosecurity risks from and for northern Australia. Tropical biosecurity is a key area of strategic focus for JCU and its network of partners, who will benefit from the targeted research, quarantine services, and specialized training that will be enabled by this facility.

需要隔离温室（生物安全控制级别2）来开展入侵植物的研究。然而，在澳大利亚，北纬27度以北（布里斯班）没有隔离温室，这对热带生物安全研究构成了显著障碍。该提案旨在为广泛的内部和外部用户建立一个检疫温室，使澳大利亚热带地区的科学家和其他有关各方能够应对来自澳大利亚北部和为澳大利亚北部北方带来的植物生物安全风险。热带生物安全是JCU及其合作伙伴网络的一个关键战略重点领域，他们将受益于该设施所提供的有针对性的研究、检疫服务和专业培训。
