Weeds - Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority

Legislative Requirements
In Victoria, Declared Noxious Weeds are classified
as State Prohibited, Regionally Prohibited, Regionally
Controlled and Restricted.
State Prohibited Weeds
State Prohibited Weeds either; do not yet occur in Victoria
but pose a significant threat if they were to invade, or are
present, pose a significant threat and it is reasonable to
expect that they can be eradicated from the State.
Control of State Prohibited Weeds is the responsibility of
DPI wherever they occur across the State.
Regionally Prohibited Weeds
Regionally Prohibited Weeds are not widely distributed
across the region but are capable of spreading further.
It is reasonable to expect that these weeds can be
eradicated from the region.
Control is the responsibility of both public and private
land managers on their land and Vic Roads on Declared
Roads under the Victorian Transport Act 1983, and DPI on
roadsides.
Regionally Controlled Weeds
Regionally Controlled Weeds exist in the region and are
usually widespread. Continued control measures are
required to prevent further spread to clean land.
Control is the responsibility of both public and private land
managers on their land and Vic Roads on Declared Roads
under the Victorian Transport Act 1983.
