Weed Control Farmers Creek

Contractors to undertake weed control works throughout Farmers Creek

Council is continuing the implementation of the Farmers Creek Master Plan (FCMP) by enhancing our recreational and natural environment along Farmers Creek.

The works are targeting certain species which have been listed as priority noxious species. The weeds identified are;

Contractors will begin the scheduled works at the end of September and work through until December.

Residents will be able to observe changes to the condition of the creek far more regularly as the recreational and amenity values of the area improve, encouraging more people to use this important space.
