Trial Locations
A licensed Dealing involving an Intentional Release (DIR) of a Genetically Modified Organism (GMO), identifies GMOs grown at locations outside of contained facilities. These locations can range from small areas under limited and contained conditions, known as field trial sites, to large commercial scale releases. Please note, only field trial site locations are shown on these maps. When a dealing has been approved for commercial scale release the licence holder is not required to provide details of the locations of the dealings to the OGTR. Further information on commercial scale releases is available from http://www.ogtr.gov.au/gmorec/ir.htm.
A full record of Dealings involving Intentional Release (DIR) into the environment is available on the OGTR website. The GMO Record provides detailed information on the GMO, licence holders, GMO field trial site locations and trial site licence conditions. You can find this information at http://www.ogtr.gov.au/gmorec/index.htm.
If you have any further questions relating to GMO field trial site locations or licence conditions please contact the OGTR.
