The National Pest Plant Accord identifies pest plants that are prohibited from sale and commercial propagation and distribution across the country.

The Accord came into effect on 1 October 2001 and is an agreement between regional councils and government departments with biosecurity responsibilities. It provides a consistent approach to managing pest plants across the country.

In 2006 the Accord was revised to include the Nursery and Garden Industry Association as a member of the decision-making body.

Under the Accord, regional councils undertake surveillance to ensure the pest plants are not being sold, propagated or distributed.
