Roadsides are a ready means for invasive plants and pest animals to spread throughout Victoria, threatening agricultural land, parks, forests and rural land asset values.

2024-2025

$2.86 million has been allocated for the 2024-2025 Roadside Weeds and Pests Program to assist eligible rural, regional, and interface councils responsible for managing lengths of municipal rural roadsides.

Roadside Weeds and Pests Control Plans

Councils are required to undertake roadside weed and pest control work consistent with their Roadside Weeds and Pests Control Plans endorsed by Agriculture Victoria.

Further Information

The list of regionally prohibited, regionally controlled and restricted weeds and pests eligible for treatment under the RWPP is available from Agriculture Victoria
