5 Stakeholder responsibilitiesAlthough landowners have primary responsibility for the control of prickly acacia on theirland, relevant agencies share responsibility for the actions listed in Sections 3 and 4. Theeffective implementation of this strategy requires the involvement of a range ofstakeholders. Stakeholders’ responsibilities may vary between jurisdictions: some actionsmay be optional while others are prescribed by legislation. The successful achievement ofstrategic actions relies on the development and maintenance of partnerships betweencommunity, industry and government, and recognition of the roles of each stakeholder. Inparticular, while the National Prickle Bush Management Group provided oversight for theoriginal strategy, future coordination arrangements will evolve to maintain and build on pastachievements. The Australian Weeds Committee, at a national level, and various agencies atthe state and territory level will continue to provide a leadership role. Suggestedresponsibilities for each group are listed below.Private land owners• Manage and control prickly acacia consistent with legislative requirements for their stateor territory.• Implement best-practice management.• Undertake any necessary planning and mapping.• Identify prickly acacia and other weeds threatening their property.• Implement stock hygiene and other management practices to minimise prickly acaciaspread.Local governments• Incorporate prickly acacia objectives in relevant pest management plans and monitorimplementation.• Administer and enforce legislation where applicable.• Undertake surveying and mapping, particularly in relation to outlying prickly acaciainfestations.• Establish local management policies to contribute to strategic control, containmentand/or asset protection objectives.• Control prickly acacia on local government–managed or owned land.• Facilitate the removal of urban plantings of prickly acacia.• Source funding and/or contribute to strategic control programs.• Develop and implement extension strategies to increase awareness of prickly acacia.Natural resource management groups (catchment managementauthorities), community, conservation and other interest groups• Contribute local and regional perspectives to prickly acacia management.• Contribute to the development, implementation and/or review of local and regionalpest management plans.25
