Vegetation Management - Agrichemical Spraying

Council manages vegetation on Council owned and administrated land using a number of vegetation management tools. In some instances, this includes agrichemicals. Council's preference is for the use of non-chemical methods of vegetation control where practical. However, in some instances the use of agrichemicals is necessary. All chemicals used shall be approved for use under the Growsafe Specification and New Zealand Standard NZS8409 - Code of Practice for the Management of Agrichemicals.

We publicly notify all planned agrichemical applications across the Western Bay of Plenty District.

Please look out for specific spray details on the temporary signage erected during spraying when visiting these Reserves and facilities.

For further information, please contact Council on 07 571 8008.

District Wide Reserve and Sportsfield Spray Locations

Residents are advised that invasive weed control by chemical means will be undertaken on sports fields and recreation areas within the Pukehina Beach, Paengaroa, Maketu, Te Puke, Te Puna, Ōmokoroa, Katikati, Ongare Point, Tuapiro Point, Tanners Point, Athenree, Bowentown, Pio Shores, and Waihī Beach areas.

The target plants are Onehunga and broadleaf weeds. These will be targeted using Fairway products.

The first round of spraying is scheduled to commence late September and conclude by the end of October 2022, weather dependent. Some areas may require an additional spray, to achieve optimal results. All spraying will cease by the end of November 2022.

Please see the list of reserve and sports field locations.
