Weeds - Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority

Restricted Weeds
Restricted weeds seriously threaten primary production,
Crown Land, the environment or community health in
another State or Territory and have the potential to spread
into and within Victoria. If sold or traded in Victoria there
would be an unacceptable risk of it spreading within
Victoria and to States and Territories.
There is no requirement for land managers to control
restricted weeds on their property. However, they cannot
be traded or transported within Victoria.
Undeclared Weeds
These weeds are not classified under the Catchment and
Land Protection Act 1994 (Vic.), but are recognised as a
serious threat to agriculture and the environment.
Weeds of National Significance
In order to implement the National Weeds Strategy, 20
weeds of National Significance have been identified,
which require coordinated action across all States and
Territories to reduce their impact on Australia’s productive
capacity and natural ecosystems. The weeds were
determined according to their:
• invasiveness;
• impact;
• potential to spread; and
• socioeconomic and environmental values.
