Northern Australia Plant Biosecurity Facility

检疫温室（生物安全防护等级2）是开发入侵植物研究的必要条件。然而，在澳大利亚，27号纬线以北（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感兴趣的各方能够解决来自澳大利亚北部的植物生物安全风险。热带生物安全是联合大学及其合作伙伴网络战略重点的一个关键领域，他们将受益于该设施将提供的有针对性的研究、检疫服务和专门培训。

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.
