In accordance with section 3.2.9 of the 'Code of Practice for Management of Queensland Fruit Fly', "The period of suspension of fruit fly free pest status should remain in force until one generation and four weeks, or 12 weeks after the last wild fly is captured in the traps, or the last larvae is found, which ever is longer." For the purposes of reinstatement the following towns came from Appendix 5 in the Code of Practice: (1) Albury, (2) Bendigo, (3) Benalla, (4) Tatura, (5) Swan Hill and, (6) Echuca (7) Sunraysia For example: from Table 1, Rutherglen (1) means that Albury was used for the re-instatement dates for the outbreak at Rutherglen.
