East Gippsland Shire Council manages more than 3,000 kilometres of roads.

Council is currently developing a weed and pest Control Plan for 2023-2026 as part of the Victorian Government’s Roadside Weeds and Pests Program (RWPP). Funding provided through the RWPP program helps identify which Catchment and Land Protection (CaLP) Act 1994 listed species will be managed over the term of the plan.

Actions will be prioritised in line with established government guidelines and based on weed management theory such as the generalised invasion curve (Australian Weed Strategy 2017-2027). To optimise outcomes, investment will be prioritised based on past investment and adjacent landholder investment.

Consultation and community engagement

An important part in the development of the Control Plan is seeking input from the community.

Funding

Funding of $78,734 has been provided as part of the Victorian Government’s Roadside Weeds and Pests Program (RWPP).
