To maintain roadside vegetation, Council undertakes a spraying program within both urban and rural areas of Kingborough, using Government approved herbicides. As part of the program, Council invites residents to apply for their property frontage to be added to the No Spray Register.
Where Council approves a frontage for inclusion within the No Spray Register, it will be the applicant’s responsibility to manage the roadside vegetation within the No Spray Zone,
Please review the No Spray Guidelines (PDF) for further detail.
No Spray Registration will remain in place permanently once approved by the Roads Supervisor. Once a property owner’s registration is approved, they will no longer be required to re-apply.
New applications are accepted at any time during the year, however, it is preferred these are received around June / July. This allows for situations and conditions beyond reasonable control that may prohibit property owners’ inclusion onto the No Spray Register, for example. “Contractors may be enroute to an area and time constraints may inhibit inclusion of an application just received whilst they are enroute or there has just not been enough preparation time to provide the contractor Maps, details and required information or the installation of the No Spray Markers.”
Note: spraying along State Highways (including the Channel Highway and Main Road, Bruny Island) is undertaken by the State Government and is not applicable for this register.
