Sunshine Coast Council
Landholders are urged to join the fight against pest plants as part of Sunshine Coast Council’s renewed commitment to weed them out.
Council today (22 July) endorsed a 12-month Biosecurity Surveillance Program at its Ordinary Meeting.
Council officers will proactively monitor the extent of invasive plants across the region and partner with landholders to manage target species on their properties.
Those being targeted include groundsel bush, cat’s clawcreeper, fireweed, giant rat’s tail grasses and salvinia.
Environment Portfolio Councillor Peter Cox said landholder support was critical to the program’s success.
“Proactively managing invasive plants within our region takes a team effort with both private and publicly owned property included within the surveillance target area,” Cr Cox said.
