The City of Nedlands advises that, commencing early May 2026, the hardscapes in Road Reserves throughout the City will be treated for the control of weeds. An application of herbicide will be applied to road kerbs, traffic islands, footpaths, activity centre locations (large paved areas) and shared use paths for the eradication of annual and perennial weeds and grasses.
Due to the unpredictable nature of weather conditions, exact dates for application activities cannot be confirmed. Appropriate signage as required by the Health (Pesticides) Regulations 2016 will be clearly displayed on the contractor’s vehicles during the application. Treatment will be undertaken by licensed contractors with the operations monitored by City officers in accordance with safety guidelines.
The product being applied contains a non-selective herbicide (glyphosate) that shall be applied in accordance with the product label, as is required by State and Federal legislation. This treatment will not be carried out adjacent to properties where residents have registered to be included on the City's Do Not Spray register. Forms are available on the City’s website for exemption registration purposes.
In addition, contractors have been instructed to cease spraying upon the approach of path users and to avoid active dining areas.
