Pesticide use in Parks and Open Space

Council is committed to providing the best possible quality, safe and usable parks and open space for its community. Where required Council may need to use pesticides to ensure community parks, playgrounds, sporting fields, nature strips, council buildings and surrounds are well maintained and able to meet the community’s needs. Pesticides are used to eliminate or reduce weeds, promote healthier plant growth, and prevent damage from pests such as insects and rodents.

Council is committed to ensuring that pesticide use is justified and that pesticides with the lowest toxicity are applied to achieve the desired outcome.
