Council's Parks and Open Spaces Team conducts annual spraying in selected parks, reserves and sporting fields for the control of broadleaf and bindii weeds between June and August. The control of turf grass pests, diseases and growth occurs between September and April. In addition, other selected weed species will be targeted under our Vegetation Management Programme.
