Palm Beach, on the Gold Coast, is a coastal suburb where development, landscaping and biosecurity intersect, making fire ant management especially relevant for residents, businesses and local authorities. According to the City of Gold Coast, Palm Beach is one of the suburbs included in the fire ant surveillance & eradication zone. City of Gold Coast The layout of Palm Beach, with its beachfront properties, parks, gardens, commercial strips and frequent landscaping work, creates opportunities for fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) to establish nests. Disturbed soil, mulch, potted plants, turf, construction sites and movement of soil are common pathways for spread. Once established, fire ants pose health risks (painful stings, possibility of allergic reactions), threaten outdoor amenity (playgrounds, public spaces, paths) and can interfere with infrastructure maintenance.
