MOYNE Shire Council is supporting calls for extra biosecurity measures to be taken to protect the local, vital agriculture sector and ensure it remains free from the highly contagious viral foot-and-mouth (FMD) disease. 

The Shire’s mayor, Ian Smith, backed calls for Australians holidaying on the popular holiday island of Bali to leave their boots behind upon their return, following confirmation of FMD in livestock in Indonesia.
