Spraying is being conducted by licensed contractors and will target local, state and nationally listed weeds, including:
- Blackberry (Rubus sp.)
- Taylorina (Psoralea pinnata)
- Madiera Vine (Anredera cordifolia)
- Sweet Pittosporum (Pittosporum undulatum)
The community is reminded to always avoid picking blackberries from bushland and road reserves in the event they may have been sprayed.
