Environmental Weed Management

We asked members of our community to help us locate high priority areas in our environment.

The strategy will help provide guidance and direction for the City and community in the management of environmental weeds. It will aim to ensure that the limited funding, time and resources available for environmental weed control are used in the most strategic, efficient and effective way possible by directing them towards the highest priority weeds and the protection of the highest priority ecological assets.

It is important to note two key aspects of the scope of the project:

1. It is focused on environmental weeds and the ecological impact they have and not agricultural or horticultural weeds.

2. It is focused on City reserves (although many aspects will flow through to private lands or other tenures).
