Annual Bushland Weed Spraying Program

CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.

The annual spraying program is being undertaken by Contractors from July through to October 2017 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

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 the reserves.
