PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                   28 APRIL 2015


Finance & Risk

Pest management is currently funded through the Waste and Environmental Health budget.
It is not anticipated that the Noosa Pest Management Plan will impact on the current budget
levels. As there are over 300 species of pest in Noosa Shire, the Plan identities priority pest
species for management, and therefore provides a more targeted and effective delivery of
pest management services, rather than attempting to control all species.
