Annual Roadside Weed Spraying Program

Published on Friday, 4 September 2026 at 2:30:00 PM

The Shire's annual roadside weed spraying program will be taking place throughout September.

This month, you may see Mainspray vehicles treating Shire-managed roadside verges across the district. Weed management forms part of the Shire's ongoing efforts towards maintaining attractive and welcoming public spaces.

What you need to know:

  • Spraying will occur when weather conditions are suitable
  • Traffic management will be in place while treatment is underway (delays are expected to be minimal)
  • A broad-spectrum, non-residual herbicide will be used for these works
  • The Contractor has a list of ‘no spray’ verges, where treatment will not be applied
  • The Contractor will maintain safe work practices and work sites throughout the program

Please take care when travelling near work areas and follow any traffic management directions in place.

We appreciate your patience and understanding while these works are completed - should you have concerns, please contact the Shire Administration Office.
