Get help to protect your place
Council provides a range of services to the community to assist in managing invasive plants.
Generally, as a resident you are responsible for managing invasive plants on your property. Getting to know the priority invasive plants in your area and what your obligations are for these is important. You can protect your property by practicing good ‘weed hygiene’ and monitoring areas such as waterways, roads, powerline easements and boundary fences for new emerging weeds and removing them before they become established.
Maintaining a weed-free property boundary is an important part of meeting your General Biosecurity Obligation under the Biosecurity Act 2014 and is part of Queensland’s Invasive Plants and Animals Strategy 2025-2030 ‘good neighbour’ policy. Creating a weed free buffer zone along property boundaries and watercourses can help stop weeds spreading onto neighbouring properties and throughout waterways. This requires regular ongoing control and monitoring.
