Strategy/Action<br />
Development <strong>of</strong> plant labelling scheme for<br />
<strong>aquatic</strong> plant industry<br />
Consider recommendations from Vic.<br />
Department <strong>of</strong> Primary Industries scoping<br />
study on industry<br />
Evaluation <strong>of</strong> remaining 21 species<br />
requiring evaluation as part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Weed<br />
Risk Assessment project. A combination <strong>of</strong><br />
field inspections and competition trials<br />
Engage companies to pursue registration <strong>of</strong><br />
additional <strong>aquatic</strong> herbicides<br />
Improve registration/permit process for<br />
<strong>aquatic</strong> Herbicides<br />
Liaise with <strong>Australia</strong>n Pesticides and<br />
Veterinary Medicines Authority and state<br />
agencies<br />
Outputs and outcomes<br />
• Reduced likelihood <strong>of</strong> industry<br />
mislabelling leading to declared species<br />
been sold<br />
• Fur<strong>the</strong>r <strong>aquatic</strong> plants with significant<br />
weed potential are removed from sale<br />
<strong>national</strong>ly<br />
• Registration <strong>of</strong> effective herbicides for<br />
cabomba and salvinia by companies<br />
• Support for field trials from companies<br />
• Discussion paper on future directions for<br />
<strong>aquatic</strong> herbicides<br />
• Guidance from APVMA and better support<br />
for registrations and minor use permits<br />
for <strong>aquatic</strong> herbicides<br />

Annual inspection <strong>of</strong> all alligator weed non<br />

• National Coordination <strong>of</strong> <strong>national</strong> <strong>aquatic</strong><br />
weeds strategies continues<br />
• Employment <strong>of</strong> fulltime National<br />
Coordinator and full/part time project<br />
<strong>of</strong>ficer.<br />
• Effectiveness <strong>of</strong> current efforts (including<br />
resources, site management and tools<br />
used) are measured<br />
• Progress towards eradication <strong>of</strong> alligator<br />
weed non core sites is measured<br />
annually.<br />
• Deficiencies identified and rectified (eg<br />
salvinia biocontrol in farm dams)<br />
• Effective methods trialled and utilised<br />
elsewhere<br />
• Increase in effectiveness <strong>of</strong> management<br />
• Potential species for future <strong>national</strong><br />
action identified and evaluated<br />
• Action plans and/or strategies for new<br />
