Green area restrictions

If you're in a green area, there are no fruit and vegetable movement restrictions while you remain inside the area.

If you live, work, go to school, or are travelling through a fruit fly affected area, check the outbreak map to see if you're in a red, yellow, or green zone and follow any restrictions.

Check the outbreak map

Moving home-grown produce

You can move home-grown restricted fruit and vegetables from a green area into a red outbreak area or yellow suspension area.

However, you cannot bring the produce back into the green area – you must eat or dispose of it in the red area or yellow area.

Buying produce

Shops (permanent retail businesses)

If you purchase restricted fruit and vegetables at a shop in a green area, you can move them across fruit fly affected areas, with an itemised receipt.

Roadside sellers, markets and stalls

If you purchase restricted fruit and vegetables from roadside sellers, markets and stalls in a green area, you can move them across all fruit fly affected areas, with an itemised receipt.

Riverland Pest Free Area (PFA)

There are permanent restrictions on bringing host produce into the Riverland PFA from any other part of SA, even if it comes from a green area.

The only exception is for local residents buying from an accredited local retailer, with options of pick up or delivery.
