WEED CONTROL CLASS 4 MANAGEMENT PLAN The control objective for Weed Control Class 4 is to minimise the negative impact of those plants on the economy, community or environment of NSW. Name of Weed: LANTANA Common name: Lantana Scientific name: Lantana species (NB. this includes Lantana camara, all Lantana hybrids and Lantana montevidensis) The above mentioned weed is a noxious weed declared under section 7 of the Noxious Weeds Act 1993. AREA OF OPERATION & PHONE NUMBERS FOR LOCAL CONTROL AUTHORITIES: Sutherland 9710 0333 PLAN PERIOD Starting date: XXXX 2011 Completion date: XXXX 2015 (Unless otherwise revoked) CONTROL MEASURES FOR THE WEED AS PER ORDER 19 Class 4: The growth and spread of the plant must be controlled according to the measures specified in a management plan published by the local control authority and the plant may not be sold, propagated or knowingly distributed. The above local control authority specifies the following measures to control this weed: Private Land For individual or small infestations all plants must be completely removed or destroyed. For larger infestations, prevent the spread and gradually reduce the extent of Lantana, with due consideration to impact on native fauna habitat, by treating plants using any of the recommended techniques depending on the size of infestation and accessibility. A weed management plan for the site must be completed by the landholder and approved by the Local Control Authority. This will take into account any impacts on erosion, native or desirable surrounding vegetation and fauna that will be affected by the control of the Lantana. A minimum of 25% annually must be removed or controlled under these plans. Public Land On council owned or managed land, the weed will be strategically controlled and reduced on a priority sub-catchment basis according to available resources as defined in the SSC Lantana Weed Control Plan. CONTROL REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS WEED IN THE AREA OF OPERATION General information on control methods for this weed can be found in the most recent edition of the annual Noxious and Environmental Weed Control Handbook www.dpi.nsw.gov.au or at www.sydneyweeds.org.au Before commencing any chemical control program contact your local council's weeds officer for advice tailored to your situation. All herbicide must be used in accordance with the product label or relevant off-label permit issued by the Australian Pesticides & Veterinary Medicines Authority. Manual Control For small infestations, use hand removal, cut-stump or basal bark method. Mechanical control For larger infestations, control such as stick raking, bulldozing, ploughing or grubbing can be used, whilst ensuring removal of the rootstock. Herbicide Control Spray plants less than 2 metres high with a registered herbicide. Biological control For large or inaccessible infestations, release one or more biological control agents to contain infestations and reduce future spread in the long term. SPECIAL NOTES: 1. An integrated approach that uses a variety of control methods gives best results when dealing with Lantana. 2. Best results are obtained by working from areas of light infestation towards heavier infestation. 3. Follow-up control after initial treatment is important to control regrowth and seedling germination in the long term. 4. Biological controls alone cannot eradicate Lantana.
