Bushland and Reserves Environmental Weed Control

Environmental weed control in the City's bushland and reserve areas will be progressing during July to September 2016. The weed control is being undertaken to control perennial and annual grass weeds and invasive geophytic weeds, commonly known as corms, bulbs and tubers.
The weed control being undertaken is weather dependent and as a result, exact dates for spraying cannot be confirmed. However, signage will be displayed at the sites where weed control is being undertaken.
Currently contractors are undertaking grass control at Allen Park in Swanbourne. Birdwood Parade and Hollywood Reserve works have been completed. Once the remainder of the grass control program is complete, contractors will start targeting invasive bulbous weeds in August.
