MAIN ROADS — WEEDS — ROAD VERGES
892. Hon COLIN de GRUSSA to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Transport:
I refer to question without notice
863 asked by me yesterday regarding the growth of resistant weed populations on
road verges managed by Main Roads Western Australia.
(1) Can the
minister confirm that there are no plans, procedures or policies related to the
management of herbicide resistant weeds?
(2) If not, please table the
relevant plans, policies or guidelines used internally by Main Roads.
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(2) As
outlined in the answer to question without notice 863, testing is conducted if
potential resistance is identified. This is carried out on a case-by-case
basis.
