Partnership helps fight pest plants invasion

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.
