Understand your responsibilities as a property owner in Wollondilly, and discover how cooperative efforts can help manage and mitigate weed invasions effectively.
As a property owner in Wollondilly, it is your responsibility to actively prevent, eliminate, and minimise the spread of weeds. High-priority weeds, as outlined in the Biosecurity Act , require particular attention due to their risk. Ensure you are managing these weeds effectively to comply with local regulations and protect our natural habitats.
If you notice weeds spreading onto your land from nearby properties, it is best to discuss this issue with your neighbours and work together to address it. If the weeds pose a high risk or if your property borders protected areas such as national parks, council officers might need to become involved. Should you face difficulties in resolving these issues through discussion, you can reach out to the community Justice Centre for mediation and assistance.
Weeds on public lands, such as parks and nature reserves, are a significant problem because they can spread quickly and harm native ecosystems. If you come across weeds in these areas, please report them to the Council's Biosecurity Officer. Our council runs regular weed control programs, supported by staff, private contractors, and community volunteer groups, to manage these challenges effectively.
