Weed management
Corangamite Shire is home to highly productive agricultural land and natural assets that are appreciated around the world. Weeds continue to be a major challenge in the Corangamite Shire due to the large area and favourable climate. Slowing the spread of weeds is a community effort, requiring input from the entire community to see the successful control and elimination of problem weeds.
Declared noxious weeds
Some weeds are declared noxious weeds under the Catchment and Land Protection Act. Individual property owners are responsible for the control of declared weeds. To find out more about declared weeds you can find the full list at Agriculture Victoria and details on recommended treatment.
Reporting weeds
Council controls weeds on Council managed land, including Council managed roadsides. Council has no authority to enforce weed control on private properties. Enforcement is a state government responsibility through Agriculture Victoria.
