No Spray Register
Council’s weed control program targets vegetation and weeds on township streets, footpaths, kerb, gutters and road reserve.
The program includes the use of chemical herbicides. If you do not want us to spray on the road reserve in front of or alongside your property you can apply to be listed on the No Spray Register.
There are four spray cycles per year, which are based on the life cycle of the weeds and aimed at stopping any spread of seeds. The timing of this program depends on seasonal growth and weather conditions.
If you are on the No Spray Register, you assume responsibility for the management of weeds on the road reserve in front of or alongside your property. Inspections will be undertaken every 3 months to make sure that you are controlling weeds to a satisfactory standard. If at any time we feel you are not controlling weeds to a satisfactory standard, we will resume responsibility for the maintenance, including the use of chemical products.
For those wishing to apply to be on the No Spray Register, please remember:
- your request is valid for a maximum period of 12 months from 1 July and understand that if your request is made before 1 June, it will only be valid until 30 June the same year.
- at the expiration of your request as outlined above, if you would like to remain on the register you will need to renew your registration by completing the online form
- if the property is rented or a unit or strata complex, that you have written consent from the landlord or body corporate.
