As part of its annual weed control program, Council will be undertaking broad scale spraying of selective herbicides on its Sporting Ovals and Parks & Reserves to control broad leaf weeds in turf areas during the following periods:
- Parks & Reserves - 12-16 August and 19-23 August 2019
- Sporting Ovals – 16-20 September 2019
And if required a follow up application
- Parks & Reserves - 16-20 September 2019
Council's Pesticide Use Notification Plan requires Council advertise broad scale spraying of herbicide to allow members of the public the opportunity to avoid contact with herbicide application. Council will ensure the herbicides are applied to public places in a safe, responsible manner, minimising harm to the community and the environment. Council will also ensure that all legislative requirements are met and followed. Council will have relevant safety data sheets on hand to respond to enquiries.
