As part of our ongoing commitment to the eradication of the Senegal tea plant in our region, we will be carrying out herbicide spraying from November through to end of January 2025 on the banks of the lower Barrington, Gloucester and Upper Manning Rivers.
Only qualified operators will be completing the targeted spraying using Weedmaster Duo, Biochoice 360, Sixgun 360 and/or Glymac 360. These herbicides contain 360g/L glyphosate which will be used, as per requirements of the label and APVMA permit 9907. This program is subject to weather conditions.
As a precaution residents are advised to refrain from using, drinking or swimming in the water for 96 hours following treatments. Residents who pump from the river to fill water tanks for human consumption are advised to do so prior to commencement of works, and not resume pumping for 96 hours following treatments adjacent to their property.
