Twice annually the council will carrying out herbicide spraying (using Round Up - also known as Glyphosate) of footpaths and the road berm outside properties for the control of weeds.
If you would like to not have the berm sprayed outside your property, you can register to be on the "no spray register".
How to register
To register, please contact the council. You will also need to be prepared to remove weeds on the road berm outside your property and sign an acceptance of the terms and conditions relating to being on the "no spray" register.
'No spray' edge marker posts will be installed by council contractors (free of charge) on those properties who appear on the “no spray” register in rural areas, so contractors can easily identify no spray properties.
Herbicide control is undertaken by contractors engaged by Council who are aware of the "no spray" register. Where requested, the contractors will endeavour to contact "no spray" customers prior to spraying in their area.
If visibility, safety or the integrity of the roading asset is compromised by weeds then, following consultation with the residents of that road, the contractor may spray a "no spray" road.
All other maintenance activities such as the routine mowing will continue as usual.
Update your details
If you have moved house and still wish to remain on the "no spray register" then you need to contact the council to update your new address.
