  The City has received an application from Drainflow Services for approval under Regulation 14A of the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997 of a noise management plan for carrying out road sweeping activities before 7am.

  The works are proposed to be carried out once per month, between 6am and 7am, on a designated day between Monday and Friday on Waratah Avenue, Broadway and Hampden Road within the City of Nedlands.

  The works schedule proposed by Drainflow Services is designed to minimise the overall impact on persons and local businesses, reduce the risk of pedestrian and plant interaction and improve the productivity and quality of sweeping works for a safer and more effective operation.

  The purpose of the noise management plan is to describe how the noise impact from road sweeping activities will be managed and minimised by Drainflow Services. A copy of the plan can be viewed in the document library on this page. Copies are also available at the Administration Office and Nedlands Library, Stirling Highway Nedlands.

  The City is seeking public comment regarding the noise management plan before its approval, as required under Regulation 14A (8-10). This will allow the City to best consider the views of the community and make an informed decision when considering whether to allow these operations.

  Submissions may be made in writing to the Chief Executive Officer, City of Nedlands, PO Box 9, Nedlands WA 6909, by no later than 5pm, Friday, 24 August.

  A outcomes will be published on this engagement page and the City's website.

  The annual spraying program is being undertaken by Contractors from July through to October 2018 to control environmental weeds in the following bushland areas:

  • Shenton Bushland
  • Allen Park
  • Hollywood Reserve
  • Birdwood Parade
  • Point Resolution
  • Mount Claremont Oval Reserve
  • Mount Claremont Community Centre
  • Swanbourne Estate

  The City will be focusing on the control of bulbous weeds, and annual and perennial grass weeds using the herbicides listed below:

  
  

  • Metsulfuron-methyl: used to control bulbous weeds
  • 2 2-DPA (Dalapon): used to control bulbous weeds
  • Glyphosate: used in conjunction with metsulfuron-methyl to control bulbous weeds
  • Fusilade: used to control annual and perennial grass weeds.

  
  

  Signage will be displayed whilst these works are occurring.

  
  

  For further information, please contact Vicki Shannon, the City's Environmental Conservation Coordinator on (08) 9273 3500, or email vshannon@nedlands.wa.gov.au(External link)

  

  
  

  The City undertakes environmental weed control to improve biodiversity values and to reduce the negative impacts environmental weeds that weeds cause to the ecosystems, for example they compete with the native plants, thereby reducing the species and diversity for both flora and fauna.

  
  

  Environmental weeds causes erosion, alters water availability, changes soil nutrients, increases the likelihood of bush fires, and changes the vegetation communities within bushland areas.
