From tomorrow until the end of April (excluding weekends and public holidays), there will be intermittent spraying in and around Lake Dunstan to control Lagarosiphon in our waterways.
This work is dependent on suitable weed, water, and weather conditions and therefore the timing is subject to change. Diquat in gel form will be used to treat aquatic weeds and will be applied by both aerial and boats based spraying methods. There is be a 24-hour stand-down on swimming, fishing, or taking water for irrigation or domestic supply once the spraying is complete.

Freshwater pests such as Lagarosiphon major, Didymo and toxic algae can be devastating to native ecosystems and recreation if they find their way into water bodies.
Was great to get up to speed with last year's weed management review and be involved in the next year's plan of controlling the weeds.
