    Central Coast Council will be applying Glyphosate 360 and Metasulfuron-methyl between 1 January 2023 to 30 June 2023 to specific waterways and drainage lines within the local government area for the purpose of waterway, ecosystem and asset protection.

    Glyphosate is registered for use in Australia by the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority. Non-chemical methods of weed control are also utilised wherever practicable.

    During application, signage will be clearly displayed to notify application of herbicides to waterways and will include information on the herbicide being applied, the location details, the dates and the weed Council is managing. During signposted periods, the public is advised not to use, drink or swim in the water until signage is removed.

    For further information or to obtain a copy of the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for the product, please contact Council’s Environmental Infrastructure Section on 02 4306 7900.

    This notification is provided in accordance with Council's Pesticide Use Notification Plan and the Environmental Protection Licence 7643 which are available for viewing at the Wyong Administration Buildings or may be viewed on Council’s website www.centralcoast.nsw.gov.au
