Management Strategies
and Actions

 

A person suitably qualified in Native Vegetation Rehabilitation and weed
contro! is to be present to identify and remove weeds.

Manua!.(hand pulling) removal of weed species on stable land formations.
if the preferable method. However, some weed species will require
chemical methods of removal preferably via stem injection, chip frill or cut
and paint methods. On steeper areas and river banks chemical methods
are preferred to reduce potential soil disturbance and subsequent
erosion.

Under the Fisheries Act 1994, no motorised methods are to applied (i.e.
brushcutters etc.).

Larger species to be removed/treated must be done so without causing
damage to existing native vegetation. Where this is not possible the plant
should be treated via stem injection techniques and left to die in-situ.

Extreme caution should be taken to ensure that herbicides do not enter
the waterway, the cut and paint method has been suggested as this
method is the least likely to enter the stream system.

The weeds listed under the Lands Protection (Pest and Stock Route
Management) Regulation 2003 (QLD) require immediate removal from
the site.

Weeds species should be targeted and removed prior to the seeding of
the plant to prevent further distribution.

Weed removal of each species will be conducted in a way that maximizes
the potential for total removal of the plant and minimise potential
regrowth.

Where removal of listed species may endanger bank integrity, additional
soil support may be required. Jute matting pinned closely to the soil
surface and planted densely with ground covers is the suggested
technique in this circumstance.

 

The movement of vehicles will be restricted to prevent the further spread
