Pest and Weed Management PlanRev 0May 20113.3.3 Weed Hygiene DeclarationUnder the LP Act, it is an offence to supply a thing that is contaminated with a Class 1 or Class 2 weed.For Class 2 weeds, however, there is an exemption: A person does not breach the Act if they provide awritten notice that states that the thing is or may be contaminated with a Class 2 weed and hands out thiswritten notice to the receiver before the thing is supplied. “Written notice” in the sense of the Act is theWeed Hygiene Declaration (Appendix 5). This notice has to be filled out by the supplier prior to enteringthe property and contains information about the type of equipment that is supplied or transported and itscontamination status. Machinery, such as vehicles, is considered clean when no soil or organic matterthat may contain weeds or weed seeds is attached to the machinery.The Weed Hygiene Declaration provides information on two separate activities, Part 1- Sale or supply ofthings and Part 2 - Transport of contaminated things. Part 1 should be completed if a new vehicle istransported to a sensitive area or the purchase of materials (organic matter) requires proof of weed freesupply for example in rehabilitation or earthworks operations. Weed Hygiene Declarations are to be keptby both the supplier and receiver for five years for these activities. Part 2 should be completed whenmachinery or persons are moving from location to location or in QGC case, property to property. If thethings is deemed to be contaminated, the receiver can either refuse the thing or take precautions toprevent new weed infestations. Failure to supply a written notice can incur a penalty of up to $40 000.3.3.4 Weed Hygiene Inspection ReportQGC provides a company internal Weed Hygiene Inspection Report as a supplement to the WeedHygiene Declaration Form (Appendix 6). The Weed Hygiene Inspection Report itemises the cleaned andinspected locations in detail and gives comprehensive information about the vehicle/machinery. It isrecommended because it ensures proof of process and due diligence in the weed managementprocedure. The form provides evidence for future reference should a situation relating to the spread ofweeds arise to acknowledge the steps taken on weed control (QGC Environmental Guideline: WeedHygiene for Vehicles and Machinery. OPS-T-GDL-00002, Rev B February 2011).The Hygiene Inspection Report can only be signed by an inspector who has been trained and deemedcompetent by successfully completing the courses RTD2312A and RTD2313A provided by GreeningAustralia and other organisations. Authorised Vehicle Inspectors can be QGC or third party contractors.Third party certifications are currently conducted under certain circumstances such as cases wherelandholders raise significant concerns.The following table provides information on authorised third party weed inspectors current at the time ofreport preparation (Table 2).
