Upcoming Weed Spraying

Published on Monday, 8 July 2024 at 3:02:56 PM

Town contractors will be carrying out annual weed spraying on kerbs, medians, footpaths, and parks from July to September 2024.

July weed spraying

For effective control of weeds throughout the Town, Council’s spraying contractor will begin spraying kerbs, medians and footpaths throughout the Town, weather permitting, commencing 22 July 2024 for a period of six weeks.

To have your kerb exempted from spraying, please request this in writing before 19 July 2024 and addressed to PO Box 437, Victoria Park WA 6979.  The request should include an undertaking that any weeds in these areas of the verge are controlled, as necessary.

August weed spraying

For effective control of broadleaf weeds in turf, Council’s spraying contractor will begin broadacre herbicide spraying of the active and passive parks and reserves within the Town, weather permitting, commencing 5 August 2024 for a period of approximately (up to) eight weeks.

Appropriate signage will be displayed on the vehicle, as well as other locations around the park whilst the herbicide is being applied. A non-toxic foam marker will be used and will remain visible for a short period after application. Please keep off the turf until signage is removed and if possible, until the foam markers have dissolved.

If you have any concerns, please put this in writing before 2 August 2024 and addressed to PO Box 437, Victoria Park WA 6979 or by email to admin@vicpark.wa.gov.au

Please phone the Town’s Reserves and Capital Works Supervisor - Parks, on 9311 8111 with any queries on these operations.
