Yamba Quarantine Station

Located on the Sturt Highway at Yamba, South Australia, the Yamba Quarantine Station serves as a critical checkpoint to protect the state's fruit fly-free status. Established in 1957, it inspects vehicles entering from Victoria, ensuring compliance with South Australia's strict biosecurity measures. The station operates 24/7, with a zero-tolerance policy for restricted produce; fines are imposed for non-compliance. Recent upgrades have enhanced its facilities, including new entry and exit routes and additional staff accommodations, reinforcing its role in safeguarding the Riverland region's horticulture industry.
