Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2002 Week 4 Hansard (11 April) . . Page.. 1121 ..

The Department of Urban Services has a permit (PER4935) to use glyphosate and flupropanate to control Chilean Needle Grass.

The need to increase public awareness of Chilean Needle Grass and its impacts is a priority amongst the Weeds Working Group and its member agencies. Initiatives include Chilean Needle Grass workshops for landholders and agency staff, provision of information at field days and on other suitable occasions and support for on-going notification of outbreaks in new areas.

Actions undertaken in ACT are consistent with the Strategic Plan for Chilean Needle Grass developed by the National Weeds Strategy Executive Committee of the Agriculture & Resource Management Council of Australia & New Zealand, Australian & New Zealand Environment & Conservation Council and Forestry Ministers (2001).
