Most of the listed diseases in (151A) are not relevant to (C.I.) but should be kept in case a particular industry was to establish. Diseases listed in schedule 2 to be declared as a Quarantine disease. Insects and parasites affecting animals to be declared as a disease of animals.

(1aa) Exceptions to section (1a) as in schedule (1) restricted animals.
Schedule (1) Restricted animals for the purpose of this section to be live fresh water fish (as in aquarium) from all countries, live chickens (as in poultry) from Australia only. The above are subject to import permit and conditions.
Diseases of plants and pests of plants or a noxious plant to be a disease affecting plants, including aquatic and marine plants and pests and diseases of aquatic and marine plants, as per section 5 (1) of the Commonwealth Quarantine Act 1908. For the purpose of that section to be referred to as section 6 of the Christmas Island Quarantine Ordinance.
Section (1) Prohibit the importation into the Territory of Christmas Island plant diseases, pests of plants and noxious plants and seeds from noxious plants, as listed in schedules 1, 2 & 3.
(1a) All plants are prohibited from all countries except Australia. Plants not listed in schedule (3) are restricted and require and import permit conditions apply.
Schedules
Schedule (1) Plant diseases
There is a lack of knowledge of plant diseases present on Christmas Island and it is difficult to secure any specific information on potential imported disease or disease threat specific to the island’s vegetation. As a result, it is not possible to develop a comprehensive declared list of plant diseases. Once a comprehensive assessment of plant disease has been established then the appropriate proclamations can be submitted.
Because of the current lack of knowledge, a generalised declaration has been made to prohibit the introduction into the Territory of Christmas Island any disease, germ, microbe, disease agent, culture virus, pathogen virus, fungi, schizomycetes, bacteria, actinomycetes, slime and moulds including:

GLOSSARY
Anchialine Anchialine habitats consist of bodies of haline waters, usually with a restricted exposure to open air, always with more or less extensive subterranean connections to the sea, and showing noticeable marine as well as terrestrial influences (Stock et al.1986). They typically occur in volcanic or limestone bedrock.
Assemblage A collection of individuals, usually of different types
Chemoautotroph Any organism using inorganic sources of carbon, nitrogen etc. as starting materials for biosynthesis, and an inorganic chemical energy source
Community Any group of organisms belonging to a number of different species that co-occur in the same area and interact through trophic and spatial relationships
Diversity Variety, often expressed as a function of a number of species in a sample, sometimes modified by their relative abundances
Echinoderm A phylum of marine coelomate animals (eg starfish, sea urchins, sea cucumbers)
Ecosystem A dynamic complex of plant, animal, fungal and micro-organism communities and the associated non-living environment acting as an ecological unit
El Nino A particular pattern of the ocean-atmosphere system in the Tropical Pacific having important consequences for weather and climate around the globe
Endemic Restricted to a certain region or part of region
Exotic A foreign plant, animal or organism not from that region
Fringing Reef A reef that fringes an oceanic island, a continental island or a continental mainland. It typically consists of an inner intertidal flat, and outer intertidal flat and an outer slope.
Genus A category including closely related species. Interbreeding between organisms within the same category can occur
Habitats The biophysical medium or media:
(a) occupied (continuously, periodically or occasionally) by an organism or group of organisms; or
(b) once occupied (continuously, periodically or occasionally) by an organism, or group of organisms, and into which organisms of that kind have the potential to be reintroduced.
Hydrology The scientific study of the nature, distribution and behaviour of water
Invertebrates A general term for all animals without backbones
Karst Includes surface and subterrean landscape features formed in water-soluble carbonate rocks, for example limestone or dolomite
Kraznozem Soils Falling within the Soil Order ‘Ferrosoils’ according to the Australian Soil Classification (Isbell 1996), these soils commonly form from basic igneous rocks under conditions of strong leaching. They are characterised by a strong red colour, increasing clay content with depth and lack of clear boundaries between horizons
Leeward Side protected from the wind
Limnology The study of the physical properties (including biological) and other aspects of lakes and other standing waters.
Monitoring Repeated observation of a system, usually to detect change
Overburden Soil materials, both organic and mineral, and weathered unmineralised rock of no economic value which have to be removed to allow access to the economically exploitable mineral resource below
Perennial Plant which persists for more than two years
Population All individuals of one or more species within a prescribed Area
Primary Native Vegetation Vegetation where there is no significant changes in species composition or number over time. Small changes in plant numbers and species may occur, but they are not cumulative in their effect and result merely in fluctuations about some long-term mean
Quantitative Numerical; based on accounts, measurements or other values
Reafforestation Establishment of a tree-based ecosystem similar in characteristics to the forest ecosystem naturally established on the site prior to mining or other forms of development which led to tree clearing
Rehabilitation Treatment of a site post-development which results in the establishment of a self sustaining ecosystem and associated land use that is in accord with the applicable legal requirements and with the agreement of the stakeholders
Species A classification of related organisms that can freely interbreed
Speleology The exploration, description and scientific study of caves and related phenomena
Subterranean Existing or occurring under the earth’s surface; underground
Symbiosis The close association of two or more dissimilar organisms where both receive an advantage from the association
Taxa Of taxon, i.e. any defined unit (e.g. species, genus, family) in the classification of living organisms
Tectonic Plates Large segments of the outer part of the earth which move relative to one another
Terra Rossa Soils Reddish residual clay soil developed on limestone
Terrestrial Living or found on land, as opposed to in rivers, lakes or oceans, or in the atmosphere
Trophic (Group) Individuals grouped by the way in which they obtain food; similar relative position in the food chain
Vertebrates Animals possessing a well-formed bony or cartilaginous vertebral column or backbone enclosing the spinal cord
Water Column A volume of water between the surface and the bottom
Windward Side exposed to the wind
