Agricultural & Environmental Weeds

The Corangamite Shire is located in Southwest Victoria and incorporates highly productive agricultural land and natural assets that are appreciated around the world. Diverse native vegetation and agricultural enterprises sweep from the rugged coast lines in the south to the open basalt plains in the north. A weed is classified as a plant that invades and threatens our native vegetation or primary production areas.The Corangamite Shire has a major weed problem. It will take effort from the entire community to halt the spread of weeds. Weeds have no boundaries and therefore it is everyone's responsibility regardless of land tenure. One uncontrolled weed has the potential to reduce agricultural income, reduce land values and destroy large areas of bushland and habitat for native animals.
