To control weeds along kerb lines, median islands, footpaths, sumps and Right of Ways while maintaining a healthly environment, the City contracts for theWaipuna System of Weed Control (steam spraying) to be used throughout the City of Nedlands area.
 
Parks and verges without an adjacent property are sprayed for various nuisance weeds, such as, jojo, bindi and calthrop. A pink or white, non toxic, biodegradable vegetable dye is mixed with the herbicide to mark areas that have been sprayed.

Council Officers supervise spraying works at all times. If you have a question or concern about weed spraying in the City of Nedlands, telephone 9273 3500.
