Weed management program
Explore Councils by state
Between Monday 5 August and Friday 6 September, we will be carrying out our annual weed management program.
The program has been designed to control weeds in turf in some parks, gardens and sportsgrounds across Boroondara.
The aim of the program is to:
reduce the spread of weed seed provide a safer playing surface for people using our sportsgrounds improve the appearance of our parks and green spaces improve the health and quality of turf.A part of this program is to spray selective herbicides. The herbicides used are regulated under the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Act to ensure that they do not pose an unacceptable risk to human health and the environment.
For information regarding pesticide regulatory process, please visit the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority website.
