                  Considerations           ▪    Spraying to be undertaken with consideration to wind conditions to ensure spray does not drift onto adjacent native vegetation, etc.
                                           ▪    Integrate maintenance of weed management areas with maintenance of revegetation works.

                     weeds in low      permanent/ephemeral water body to minimise herbicide impacts on aquatic ecosystems. Hand weeding should be carried out in
