In

September,
November,
January,
March and
May every year, City contractors will spray kerbs, medians and footpaths using 'Glyphosate', weather permitting.
The City also conducts spraying on verges to control African Love Grass twice a year, during the months of May and September (
only as required).
Registering for the 'No Spray' list
Residents/ratepayers can register for the verge adjacent to their property to be left untreated with pesticides, by contacting the City in writing (by email or mail). The “No Spray” list only applies to local government road reserves and activities of City of Belmont staff and contractors.
Registration to the “No Spray” list requires residents/ratepayers to commit to maintaining their verge in a weed-free condition.
On a periodic basis the City will request re-confirmation from those registered to remain on the list. The City reserves the right to apply pesticides should the above conditions not be met.
To register
complete the online form or contact the City's Parks team at
parks@belmont.wa.gov.au
For further information on the safety and use of Glyphosate please read the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA)
fact sheet.
