There's something weedy on my property

In NSW, Local Control Authorities (also known as LCAs which include Local Councils and County Councils) are here to help.

Your local council Biosecurity (weed) officer is responsible for enforcing the Biosecurity legislation and responding to cases where weeds are not being managed or may pose a biosecurity risk.

They can help by:

• conducting weed inspections on public and private property
• providing weed management education, training and resources
• administering, ensuring compliance and addressing breaches with the relevant legislation and Acts.

And don’t forget, your local council Biosecurity (weed) officer is there to help. Please contact your local council office or where applicable via the local council generic email or an online form that can be found on the council website.

Preventing the spread of weeds protects our native plants and animals and our land, water and food production in NSW. Weeds can take over precious habitats and threaten our industries and livelihoods. We need your help to stop them!
