Unsightly and overgrown vegetation

Unsightly and overgrown vegetation complaints refer to those properties with long grass and weedy, overgrown and unattended/untidy gardens that are not in keeping with the amenity of an area.

Hazardous vegetation

Hazardous vegetation is any vegetation which Council considers to have the potential to constitute a fire, health or public safety hazard. Hazardous vegetation includes vegetation which may:

  • potentially obstruct vision and the usage of the road by motorists
  • potentially cause injury or obstruction to persons using a footpath or other public area
  • have the ability to harbour vermin (snakes are native animals and are not considered vermin)
  • trigger bronchial or skin allergies
  • increase the risk of fire.

Pest plants

Council takes the management of pest plants seriously as they can have a detrimental environmental, social and economic impact, Under the Biosecurity Act 2014, residents are required to take reasonable and practical measures to prevent or reduce any risk associated with invasive plants. Depending on how a pest plant species is categorised, it may be illegal to keep, sell or move particular species, including its seed or any other reproductive material.
