Road Verge Herbicide Spraying

Published on Thursday, 22 May 2025 at 9:33:07 AM

The Shire will spray herbicide in rural and urban road verges in Denmark commencing 1st September 2025 (weather permitting).

The spraying is to control excessive growth of vegetation in drains, road shoulders and verges. The chemicals will be sprayed by qualified persons, strictly following the manufacturer’s requirements.

In accordance with Shire policy P120104 property owners can request verge areas adjoining their properties not be sprayed. To be placed on the Shires No Spray Register property owners must submit a No

Spray Register Application form, which is available from the Shires administration counter or on the Shires website at www.denmark.wa.gov.au/forms/no-spray-register-application/25

Applications must be submitted to the Shire by 4.00 pm on the 31st of August 2025.

If approved, registration will be valid for two years. Applicants whose term on the register is due to expire this year will be sent a reminder email with a link to the online application form or a copy of the form itself. This must be completed and returned to the Shire before 4.00pm on 31st August 2025 for renewal.

If your term is due to expire this year and you have not received an email reminder by the end of July 2025, please contact the Engineering Administration Officer on 9848 0322 to organise your renewal.

Those who do not renew their application before the deadline will not be included on the No Spray register for this year.
