NorthernRiversInvasivePlantsActionStrategy2009-2013 3
The aim of this strategy is to provide strategic direction for the future management of weeds in the Northern Rivers Catchment Management Authority’s (NRCMA) region by addressing specific catchment targets within the Catchment Action Plan (CAP) as well as providing weed authorities with specific actions for meeting requirements under the Noxious Weeds Act 1993. This Strategy aims to promote a coordinated approach to weed management across the region (spreading over 18 Local Government Areas) by providing a basic decision making system based on prioritisation of weed species and sites. The development of this Strategy was initiated by the NRCMA in collaboration with the NSW North Coast Weeds Advisory Committee (NCWAC) and supported by Local Councils, NSW Department of Primary Industries (NSW DPI), NSW Department of Environment and Climate Change (DECC), Department of Lands (Lands), the Mid North Coast Weeds Advisory Committee (MNCWAC) and the Northern Inland Weeds Advisory Committee (NIWAC). This strategy was prepared through a year of consultation with a wide range of stakeholders across the region.

Foreword
Biodiversity conservation is foundational to the sustainable management of our environment and natural resources. Whether enjoying the biological richness of the Northern River’s numerous reserves and natural systems, or the fruits from our productive landscapes; biodiversity assists by stabilising our soils, filtering our water and integrating our diversity of life.
Most land managers, and the greater community, would agree that they have much to benefit from the maintenance of a connected, and resilient, native vegetation. Best Management Practice of both environmental and agricultural weeds across the landscape, plays a critical role in the sustainable management of our native vegetation, and the benefits it affords to us all.
The 2006 Australia State of the Environment Report Committee in summary highlighted a key point from their findings, that is:
Much of the present regulation is not targeted at the appropriate scale, and some incentives encourage environmentally perverse results. Management at a whole-of-landscape level, integrated with the local actions of all agencies, landholders and people, is necessary to achieve landscape-scale objectives.
The Northern Rivers Invasive Plant Action Strategy is one of the first documents of its type to pull together the needs of various weed managers; and to facilitate a coordinated and catchment approach to invasive plant management. It recommends actions which will enable a strategic approach to the management of weeds, and their capacity to rapidly establish, travel downstream of catchment’s headwaters, and spread across regions.
The presence of wayward weed populations is a signal to us that our ecosystem service providers; including our woodlands, forests, streams, estuaries and farmlands; are attempting to repair their imbalances, are in need of some attention, and in many cases requiring a significant adjustment to the impacts upon them.
Environmental change, including the unpredictable impacts of human induced climate change, adds an even greater need for cooperative, comprehensive and sophisticated tools to be at our disposal for sustainable weed management.
This Strategy is the result of a collaborative approach by key stakeholders engaged in the management of weeds across the Northern Rivers. It provides an overarching framework, based on current best practice. It also recognises that stakeholder priorities will be further refined via more specific tools as they are developed.
I hope you find this manual an important and strategic contribution toward the protection of our rich biodiversity and productive landscapes, from invasive plants.

Executive Summary
The Northern Rivers Catchment Management Authority (NRCMA) region covers an area of approximately 50,000 square kilometres extending from the Queensland border in the north to the Camden Haven River in the south and west to the Northern Tablelands. The region is characterised by two distinct major environments, the coastal environment and the eastern slopes of the Tablelands, and contains a diversity of micro-climates, habitats, soils, land use patterns and weed issues. The overall aim of this Northern Rivers Invasive Plants Action Strategy is to provide a regional framework to guide and enhance weed management across the entire region, to reduce the economic, environmental and social impact of weeds.
This Strategy investigated the current organisational structure in relation to weed management in the NRCMA region in order to identify stakeholders that have not previously been included in the overall network. The aim was to enable the maximal number and diversity of stakeholders to be involved during the consultation process and to increase involvement in subsequent weed awareness and strategic weed management programs.
This Strategy provides a decision-making tool to assist land managers and funding bodies to assess and prioritise individual weed species within landscapes, within and between Local Government Areas or throughout the entire NRCMA region. Seven landscapes were chosen in order to capture the complexity of environments and the diversity of weed issues in the NRCMA region: aquatic, agricultural, coastal, forest, riparian, tablelands and urban. The Strategy also contains recommendations of criteria for site prioritisation, suggestions for a standardised reporting system and a list of actions addressing specific goals and objectives. The six goals are:
Prevent new weed problems (early detection) Reduce the impact of existing weeds Increase awareness, education and trainingImprove weed management co-ordination Enhance the use of legislation and enforcement Improve monitoring and evaluation
This Strategy emphasises the importance of preventing new weeds from establishing and the need to respond quickly to incursions as these are the most cost-effective techniques for managing weeds. This Strategy complements the Australian Weed Strategy, national and state legislative controls, and contributes to the Northern Rivers Catchment Action Plan.

1. Background
1.1 The Region The Northern Rivers Catchment Management Authority region covers an area
of approximately 50,000 square kilometres extending from the Queensland border in the north to the Camden Haven River in the south, west to the Northern Tablelands, as well as three nautical miles out to sea. Lord Howe Island is also included. The region is characterised by two distinct major environments; the coastal and the eastern slopes of the Tablelands. Within those two environments are a diversity of micro-climates, habitats, soils and consequently land use patterns. Major rivers in the NRCMA region are the Tweed, Brunswick, Richmond, Clarence, Bellinger, Nambucca, Macleay and Hastings. The region also includes significant coastal lakes and estuaries, World Heritage listed rainforest (Gondwana Rainforests of Australia) and significant marine areas such as the Solitary Islands and Cape Byron Marine Park.
The region has over 550,000 people with substantial population growth along the coast of over 2 per cent per annum. Agricultural production, timber production, commercial fishing and tourism are very important. Major industries include beef production, dairying and horticulture with new crops such as blueberries and coffee plantations becoming increasingly common.
This region is divided into 18 Local Government Areas (excluding Lord Howe). There are three Weed Advisory Committees covering the region: the NSW North Coast Weeds Advisory Committee, the Northern Inland Weeds Advisory Committee and the Mid North Coast Weeds Advisory Committee. The North Coast Weeds Advisory Committee developed this action strategy.
1.2 The Purpose of this Strategy This Strategy recognises that weed management is essential to the sustainable
management of natural resources, the economy, the environment, human health and amenity and requires an integrated whole-of-government and community-wide approach. The purpose of this Strategy is to align the direction, actions and resource allocation of all organisations concerned with weed management in the NRCMA region, toward a common direction. This Strategy provides a regional framework to guide and complement other regional and local initiatives that are ultimately translated into on-ground actions to manage weed problems and protect assets. The Strategy complements the Australian Weed Strategy, national and state legislative controls, and contributes to the Northern Rivers Catchment Action Plan.
1.3 Aims of this Strategy
The overall aim is to provide a regional framework for the entire NRCMA area, to reduce the economic, environmental and social impact of weeds.
One of the initial tasks undertaken during the development of this Strategy was to investigate the current organisational structure and situation in relation to weed management in the Northern Rivers CMA region and to identify stakeholders that have not previously been included in the overall network. The aim was to enable the maximal number and diversity of stakeholders to be involved during the consultation process and to increase involvement in subsequent weed awareness and strategic weed management programs.
This Strategy aims to make the best use of the funding and resources available and to enhance the work already done by:
Providing direction to public and private land managers Identifying existing and new priority weeds Assisting site prioritisation Improving the communication and coordination across 18 Local Government AreasMaximising the benefit of grant funds allocated for weed management
This Strategy contains: A decision-making tool to assess and prioritise individual weed species at the local and regional level Recommendations for criteria for site prioritisation A series of recommended actions for the next 5 years, working towards achieving the goals, aims and objectives. recommendations for creating a single format reporting standard that can identify, describe and monitor weed management activities and a centralised mapping system to meet the needs of the NRCMA, Local Government Areas, NCWAC and where possible NSW DPI.
This Strategy is a guide. Each Local Control Authority, State Agency and private land owner or occupier is responsible for managing weeds on their land, guided by these recommended actions and tools, and according to their individual resources and capacity.

6. Improve monitoring and evaluation 1. Ensure that stakeholders are committed to implementing and monitoring this Strategy
1.5 How was this Strategy developed? A Weed Planning Officer was appointed to the NSW NCWAC in October
2006 to implement the project. An advisory group was established and their initial meeting strengthened the collaborative partnership between numerous stakeholders by including representatives from NRCMA, NCWAC, MNCWAC, NEWA, Lands and NSW DPI. The advisory group decided to utilise the prioritisation systems used in the Regional Weed Strategies of the Lower Murray/Darling and the Murrumbidgee catchments based on Rod Randall’s publication “Which are my worst weeds? A simple ranking system for prioritising weeds”1 (Appendix 1). They also decided that developing only a single decision making tool comprising one long list of weeds was impractical because different weeds in different landscapes have different impacts e.g. the importance of Salvinia in a river system is incomparable to African Boxthorn in a Tablelands paddock. Similarly, two tools, grouping weeds into two groups, agricultural and environmental weeds, was considered simplistic and inflexible because current funding often targets specific habitats such as riparian areas. The Lower Murray/Darling Strategy grouped weeds into four landscapes: riparian, horticultural, rangelands and cropping. For the Northern Rivers CMA region, it was decided that seven landscapes would be required to represent the entire region and to capture the different weed issues: agricultural, aquatic, coastal, forests (native), riparian, tablelands and urban.
The advisory group then compiled all known lists of weeds for the Northern Rivers CMA region and created draft lists for each landscape for consideration by a larger group of weed practitioners. The lists used as the basis included: weeds declared under the Noxious Weeds Act 1993, WoNS, New England Weeds, DECC, NEWA, National Environmental Alert, MNCWAC Red Alert, MNCWAC WoRS, Bushland Friendly Nursery Scheme, South-east Qld and the Gold Coast City Council lists. The Weed Planning Officer and the Secretary of the NCWAC gave a presentation to the NRCMA Board meeting in November 2006, outlining the project and seeking input from Board members.
A two day workshop to prioritise weeds was held in Coffs Harbour in November 2006. This workshop involved 17 people from a wide range of organisations: NRCMA, NEWA, MNCWAC, NCWAC, FNCW, NSW DPI, Lands, DECC, CHCC, CVC, BSC, Tenterfield Council and Forests NSW. The group considered the draft lists of species for each landscape and shortened them as there were too many species to consider all within the time frame. Each landscape list ended up containing approximately 20 species that were considered the most important and these were then assessed during the workshop. The workshop participants assessed 107 weed species in total. The group resolved that other additional species could be assessed at a later date (Appendix 2).
Using the Rod Randall system (Appendix 1), each weed species was scored for characteristics related to invasiveness and impact. The data were compiled in early 2007 and then forwarded to a wider range of weed practitioners across the NRCMA region, asking for individual assessment of distribution and spread and logistics of control for each LGA area. To complete the data collection, a series of local workshops were conducted in 2007. Weed practitioners from the Tablelands were asked to assess weeds for the eastern fall of their respective Local Government Areas only, to ensure that the final rankings applied to the Northern Rivers CMA region.

1.6 Who is this strategy for?This Strategy recognises the social, economic and environmental diversity of
the region and endeavours to address the needs of all stakeholders involved in weed management. The Strategy includes detailed data for seven landscape types and for each of the 18 Local Government Areas on the mainland. A draft was circulated for public comment and input was sought from previously under-represented groups such as grower associations. This Strategy includes weed species that affect the natural environment, agriculture and social values of the region. This Strategy, where appropriate, complements other local, regional and state management plans and legislation and is intended to be used by public and private land managers in the Northern Rivers CMA region. This Strategy was designed to complement the NR Catchment Action Plan and to address several of this CAP’s Management Targets.
1.7 How does this strategy address the NR Catchment Action Plan Targets?
Natural Resources Commission The NSW Natural Resources Commission (NRC) has established NSW targets
to provide direction and consistent goals for activities across the state aimed to improve the condition of natural resources (see www.nrc.nsw.gov.au). Within NSW there are thirteen Catchment Management Authorities whose role is to direct regional natural resource management activities, including the provision of funding for relevant activities. The CMAs manage incentive programs aimed to maximise environmental outcomes.
Northern Rivers CAP The NRCMA published its’ Northern Rivers Catchment Action Plan in 2006 that is designed to offer direction for natural resource management over the next ten years, with a review after five years. The CAP contains seven key themes for which the NRCMA has responsibility: Community, Land Use Planning, Biodiversity, Water, Coastal Management, Marine and Soil/Land Resource. For each theme, Catchment Resource Condition Targets have been established with the intent of sustainably managing resources that are currently in good condition and improving those that are degraded, whilst maintaining or improving socio-economic outcomes. These targets support and contribute to the state-wide targets established by the NRC.
These Catchment Resource Condition Targets are supported by Management targets that aim to demonstrate the degree of change over time. The Management Targets are underpinned by Catchment activities. The Management activities are time bound to the maximum term of the ten year life of the CAP. Works completed may relate to several Targets simultaneously.
CAP Biodiversity Theme The overall objective of the CAP Biodiversity theme is to improve the
condition of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems by 2016. The Biodiversity Theme includes six Biodiversity Management Targets: Secure Conservation Management (B1), Connectivity (B2), Biodiversity Threat Mitigation (B3), Threatened Species (B4), Biodiversity Management and Enhancement (B5) and Habitat Rehabilitation and Revegetation (B6).
This Strategy will contribute predominantly to the Management Target B3Biodiversity Threat Mitigation. This target aims to implement actions to manage native ecosystems/habitats to reduce the threat of invasive species and disruption to natural ecosystems. This Weed Strategy has initiated the process of identifying, assessing and prioritising weeds in the Northern Rivers region on the basis of impacts and invasiveness. The Strategy aims to increase the ability for land managers to recognise and eradicate new weed species as well as to attempt to reduce the deterioration of natural ecosystems and subsequent threats to the survival of native species.
This Strategy will also contribute to the other Biodiversity Management Targets:
B1 Secure Conservation Management2: assisting landholders/land managers to remove/control weeds on land that is under a secure formal conservation agreement, particularly land that includes High Conservation Value (HCV) ecosystems such as rainforest, old growth eucalypt forest, freshwater and estuarine wetlands, riparian vegetation, corridors and over-cleared forest ecosystems B2 Connectivity: providing connectivity and reversing fragmentation by rehabilitating corridor habitats. Removal of weeds contributes towards restoration of fragmented habitats. B4 Threatened Species: implementing actions to reduce risks to threatened species, populations and ecological communities by developing/implementing threatened species recovery programs and increasing/rehabilitating habitat. Weed control and habitat restoration will substantially contribute to recovery programs for many threatened species, however the most relevant actions need to be determined B5 Biodiversity Management and Enhancement: maintaining the extent and improving the condition of native terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems in multiple resource use systems such as forestry, agricultural and fishery sectors. Assisting industries with weed control and development of sustainable resource management practicesB6 Habitat Rehabilitation and Revegetation: increasing the extent and/or improving the condition of native terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Removal of weeds and strategic revegetation will extend, buffer and link areas of good habitat.
The actions proposed in this Strategy will also contribute to the following themes and management targets:
Community Theme conducting training and community awareness events such as field days and distributing pamphlets, newsletters and media releases. (CCB1 – Awareness, Knowledge and Skills).This Strategy will promote community involvement by working collaboratively with landholders on specific weed issues (CCB2 – Community Engagement).
2 Land under Secure Conservation Management includes Property Vegetation Plans, Voluntary Conservation Agreements, Property Agreements, Management Contracts, Conservation Contracts, Flora Reserves, National Parks, State Conservation Areas, Nature Reserves, Listings under Ramsar Convention, Local Government Local Environment Plans, Crown Reserves, Aquatic Reserves.
1� NorthernRiversInvasivePlantsActionStrategy2009-2013 NorthernRiversInvasivePlantsActionStrategy2009-2013 1�
Water Management Theme controlling weed infestations and promoting rehabilitation of riparian zones, both within the bed and along the banks (W1- River structure, Riparian Vegetation and Fish Passage).
Marine Management Theme setting up an early detection network for weeds that include invasive marine species (M2 – Best Practice).
Land Use Planning Theme ensure adequate consideration of natural resource values in the strategic regional and local planning process (LUP4 - Natural Resource Integration)
2. Weeds
2.1 What is a Weed?A weed is a plant that requires some form of action to reduce its effects on the economy, the environment, human health or amenity (Australian Weeds Strategy 2007). Weeds are often classed into broad groups depending on their characteristics and impacts. The main groups are:
Noxious weeds Environmental weeds Agricultural weeds Weeds of National Significance (WoNS) National Environmental Alert List weeds
Many weed species can be classified in more than one of these groups. For example blackberry is classed as a noxious weed, and can be an environmental and agricultural weed depending on the location. Blackberry is also listed as a Weed of National Significance.
Noxious weeds Some serious weeds are legally required to be controlled by all landholders. These are known as Noxious weeds and the law that controls these in NSW is the NoxiousWeeds Act 1993. Noxious weeds have the potential to harm individuals or the community, can be controlled by reasonable means and have the potential to spread. In New South Wales, the administration of noxious weed control is the responsibility of the Minister for Primary Industries. The Act is implemented and enforced by Local Control Authorities (LCA) for each area, usually local government. The Act imposes obligations on occupiers of land to control noxious weeds.
There are five classes of noxious weeds identified in the Act (Table 2).
Table 2. Classes of noxious weedsClass Weed Type Control requirements 1 State Prohibited Weeds. Plants that pose a potentially
serious threat to primary production or the environment and are not present in the State or are present only to a limited extent. (Appendix 3)
The plant must be eradicated from the land and the land must be kept free of the plant.These weeds are also “notifiable”3. Prohibited from sale or knowing distribution in NSW.
2 Regionally Prohibited Weeds. Plants that pose a potentially serious threat to primary production or the environment of a region to which the order applies, and are not yet present in the region or are present only to a limited extent. (Appendix 3)
The plant must be eradicated from the land and the land must be kept free of the plant.These weeds are also “notifiable”. Prohibited from sale or knowing distribution in NSW.
3 Regionally Controlled Weeds. Plants that pose a potentially serious threat to primary production or the environment of a region to which the order applies, are not widely distributed in the area and are likely to spread from the area to another area. (Appendix 4)
The plant must be fully and continuously suppressed and destroyed. Some species also may not be sold, propagated or knowingly distributed.
4 Locally Controlled Weeds. Plants that pose a potentially serious threat to primary production, the environment or human health, are widely distributed in an area to which the order applies and are likely to spread in the area or to another area.(Appendix 5)
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. Some species also may not be sold, propagated or knowingly distributed.
5 Restricted Plants. Plants that are likely, by their sale or the sale of their seeds or movement within the State or an area of the State, to spread in the State or outside the State.(Appendix 6)
Class 5 weeds are “notifiable”. The requirements in the NoxiousWeeds Act 1993 for notifiable weeds must be complied with. Prohibited from sale or knowing distribution in NSW.
Environmental weeds Environmental weeds are plants that pose a threat to natural ecosystems. They invade native plant communities and reduce biodiversity. They may also impact on human health, access, recreation activities, physical infrastructure and aesthetic values.
Agricultural weeds Agricultural weeds are plants that represent a threat to agricultural production. They reduce the area available for agricultural activities, interfere with agricultural practices and affect the quality of produce. They may be harmful to livestock.
3 An occupier of land (other than a local control authority) on which there is a notifiable weed must notify the local control authority of that fact within three days after becoming aware that the notifiable weed is on the land. An occupier may be prosecuted under the Act for not informing the LCA of the presence of a notifiable weed. Sale or purchase of notifiable weed material is prohibited. Sale of soil, turf or fodder from land with notifuable weeds is prohibited. Distribution of weed material in or on agricultual machinery is prohibited.

National Environmental Alert List Under the National Weeds Strategy, 28 environmental weeds were identified as National Environmental Alert Weeds. These weeds are non-native species that are in the early stages of establishment and have the potential to become a significant threat to biodiversity if they are not managed (Appendix 7).
Weeds of National Significance (WoNS) Under the National Weeds Strategy (precursor to the Australian Weeds Strategy 2007), 20 introduced plants were identified as Weeds of National Significance. These weed species are regarded as the worst weeds in Australia because of their high rankings for invasiveness, potential to spread, and economic and environmental impacts. Each species has had a National Coordinator appointed to oversee the management and control of these weeds. These weeds and the relevant coordinators are listed in Appendix 8.
2.2 The impact of weeds Weeds impact the economy and environment, as well as human health and
amenity. Directly or indirectly, all Australians are affected by weeds. Weeds reduce the quantity and quality of agricultural, horticultural and forestry products, which affects both the industries and consumers. The estimated cost to the Australian economy from the agricultural impact of weeds is $4 billion per annum4. The economic impact of weeds on nature conservation, tourism and landscape amenity is thought to be of a similar magnitude. Weeds affect the structure and function of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and impact negatively on flora and fauna. Weeds pose a threat to the integrity of nationally and globally significant sites such as cultural heritage sites, World Heritage areas and Ramsar-listed wetlands. Many weeds also affect human and animal health, causing allergies, dermatitis, asthma and poisoning. Weeds can also be detrimental to the aesthetic value and the community enjoyment of natural areas, such as aquatic weeds clogging waterways preventing boating and increasing the risk of drowning.
3. Prioritising Weed Species
3.1 How did we prioritise weeds for this Strategy? Initially, the Noxious Weeds Act 1993 was referred to. The control measures under the
Act for both Class 1 and 2 weed species are the same: these plants must be eradicated from the land and the land must be kept free of the plant. Consequently all Class 1 and 2 weed species are listed as Priority A weeds in this Strategy (Table 3). Weed species listed on the National Alert List were also categorised as A in this Strategy. The control measures for Class 3 Noxious weeds are that these plants must be fully and continuously suppressed and destroyed. Consequently, all Class 3 weed species are listed as Priority B weeds inthis strategy (Table 3). After examining the weeds listed under the Noxious Weeds Act,the final scores were determined for each of the weed species on our landscape lists (Appendices 9-15) using the assessment process (Appendix 1) and a ranking was given (Table 3).
4 Sinden, J., Jones, R., Hester, S., Odom, D., Kalisch, C., James, R., and Cacho, O. 2005. The economic impact of weeds in Australia. CRC for Australian Weed Management. Tech Series 8. Adelaide. p 39.
Table 3. Inclusions in each Priority Weed Category Priority (Rank) Weed Species included A Noxious Weeds Class 1 and 2
Weed species that are absent in that LGA Weed species on the National Alert List Weed species that scored 90+ in the prioritisation process
B Noxious Weeds Class 3 Weed species that scored 80-89 (often only limited distribution) These weed species are predominantly both highly invasive and have substantial impact.
C Weed species that scored 70-79 D Weed species that scored 60-69 E Weed species that scored 40-59 F Weed species that scored less than 40
The species-specific rankings are presented in the tables below (Tables 4a-g). These prioritised weed lists are provided to guide resource allocation for weed control. Each weed species is categorised to reflect impact, invasiveness, distribution and rate of spread and also whether the species could, within 5 years, feasibly be eradicated, contained or prevented from spreading to another Local Government Area (LGA). For each Landscape, each weed species is ranked within each of the relevant Local Government Areas. For the Tablelands Local Government Areas such as Tenterfield and Glen Innes, only the eastern fall is included in the Northern Rivers CMA area, consequently assessments only apply to the eastern fall portion of these LGAs.
Within each LGA, resources should be allocated firstly to preventing the introduction and establishment of Priority A Weeds and then channelled to other Priority A weed infestations. Secondly, resources should target Priority B weed species, with the aim of containing, decreasing, and where possible, eradicating infestations of newly arrived/small infestations and then channel to larger infestations. If sufficient funding is available, control work should then be carried out on Priority C, Priority D and then Priority E weeds. Species that are on the Weeds of National Significance (WoNS) List (Appendix 8) are noted in the tables so that this can also be taken into account in decision-making. For example if a choice is required for funding allocation between a WoNS and non WoNS species, the WoNS species should be the priority. Funding allocation may also need to take into account the suite of weed species present at a particular site and their overall impact. For example, there are suites of vine weeds that have major impacts on ecosystems yet some of the individual species only obtained a low rank in this assessment process. If these weeds are damaging a site of high conservation significance then the priority for control at that site would increase.

5.2 Principal implementing committees
NSW North Coast Weeds Advisory Committee The North Coast Weeds Advisory Committee is the leading organisation for weed management in
the north coast region, comprising all key stakeholders involved in weed control from the Queensland border to the Nambucca Shire. This committee, originally known as the North East Noxious Weeds Committee, was formed in 1990 with the initial purpose of producing Giant Parramatta Grass awareness campaigns. The committee now has much broader interests encompassing noxious, environmental and agricultural weeds. The mission statement of the committee is “To protect and promote agricultural, community and environmental sustainability on the north coast of NSW by promoting and co-ordinating noxious, agricultural and environmental weed awareness and control in the community at large.” Membership of the committee includes Far North Coast County Council (trading as Far North Coast Weeds), Clarence Valley Council, Coffs Harbour City Council, Bellingen Shire Council, Nambucca Shire Council, NSW DPI (Agriculture and Fisheries), Department of Environment and Climate Change (NPWS), NSW DPI (Forests), Department Lands, Rural Lands Protection Boards, Northern Rivers CMA, Australian Rail Track Corporation, Country Energy, NSW Farmers Association, Queensland Natural Resources and Mines, Nursery and Garden Industry Association , North Coast Environmental Council, Northern Rivers Landcare network and Local Aboriginal Land Councils.
Northern Inland Weeds Advisory Committee The Northern Inland Weeds Advisory Committee is the leading organisation for weed management
in the New England and North West Slopes regions of NSW, comprising all key stakeholders involved in weed control on the New England Tablelands north to the Queensland border, the North West Slopes and Plains west to Moree, and south to the Upper Hunter shire. This includes parts of the Namoi, Border-Rivers Gwydir, Northern Rivers and Hunter catchments, encompassing some 100,000 ha of land. The committee was formed in 2003 following the amalgamation of the Namoi/Gwydir Weed Advisory Committee and New England Weed Advisory Committee. NIWAC has interests encompassing noxious, environmental and agricultural weeds with the ultimate aim being to promote the awareness and coordinated control of noxious, environmental and emerging weeds across the region. Membership of the committee includes Moree Plains Shire Council, Inverell Shire Council, Tenterfield Shire Council, Glen Innes Severn Council, New England Tablelands Noxious Plants County Council (trading as New England Weeds Authority), Gwydir Shire Council, Tamworth Regional Council, Gunnedah Shire Council, Liverpool Plains Shire Council, Upper Hunter County Council (trading as Upper Hunter Weeds Authority), NSW DPI (Agriculture and Fisheries), Department of Environment and Climate Change (NPWS), NSW DPI (Forests), Department Lands, Rural Lands Protection Boards, Northern Rivers CMA, Namoi CMA, Border Rivers/Gwydir CMA, Australian Rail Track Corporation, Country Energy, NSW Farmers Association, Queensland Natural Resources and Mines, Nursery and Garden Industry Association, various Landcare networks and Local Aboriginal Land Councils.
Mid North Coast Weeds Advisory Committee The Mid North Coast Weeds Advisory Committee was established in 1997 following consideration
of the issues raised in the NSW Weed Strategy. The committee provides a regular forum for discussion and resolution of weed issues amongst members and facilitates the development of strategies, policies and plans arising out of consultation between members and the community. The area covered by the MNCWAC extends from Eungai Rail to Karuah and membership of the Committee includes Kempsey Shire Council, Port Macquarie/Hastings Council, Greater Taree City Council, Great Lakes Council, Gloucester Shire Council, NSW DPI (Forests), NSW DPI (Agriculture and Fisheries), Department Lands, Rural Lands Protection Boards, Australian Rail Track Corporation, Roads and Traffic Authority, Landcare, Hunter Central Rivers CMA, Northern Rivers CMA, Nursery and Garden Industry Association, Department of Environment and Climate Change, Country Energy, Aboriginal Land Councils, NSW Farmers Association, Local Environmental Groups and Community representatives.
6. Relevant Legislation A wide range of legislation needs to be taken into account during the implementation of weed management (Table 7). Control methods may require alteration at different sites to comply with relevant legislation e.g. riparian zones

administration in NRCMA area International Convention on Biological Diversity

7. Links to other Plans and Strategies In Australia, significant weed problems occur at the national, state and territory, regional, local government and landowner level and effective weed management is necessary at all of these levels. Strategies to manage weeds exist at all of the various levels and stakeholders need to be aware of which ones affect them. The table below lists the relevant strategies and plans. This Northern Rivers Invasive Plants Action Strategy is consistent with the concepts outlined in the National Weed Strategy (Table 8) but offers greater degree of specific detail relevant to the Northern Rivers CMA region.

Appendix 7 The National Environmental Alert List(Department of Environment and Water Resources).
The purpose of this list is to identify weed species that are in the early stages of establishment and have the potential to become a significant threat to biodiversity if they are not managed. The species listed below are currently extant in NSW or if not yet present, their potential distribution includes NSW. These weed species are targeted for eradication. If any of these species are identified in the Northern Rivers CMA region, they should be classed as an A Priority Weed and immediate control actions should be implemented.

Appendix 19.Development of a Rapid Response program for new incursions of high risk weeds
There are a range of weed species that are high risk but not yet present in the Northern Rivers CMA region that could cause significant impacts in the future if allowed to establish. The most effective approach both in preventing detrimental impacts and minimising financial outlay for control is to target new small infestations of these species, as soon as they are detected17.The important steps in this process are: 1) early detection 2) immediate assessment of the site, control methods and funding required for eradication 3) immediate access to funds specifically ear-marked for new incursions 4) treatment 5) guaranteed funding for monitoring/follow-up for at least another five years
Early detection. Early detection can be both by a formal or informal network. The formal network includes Weeds Officers for government authorities and botanists. The informal network includes landholders, community groups and interested individuals. A “Weed Spotters” group could be established and utilised.
Some weed species that are possible threats to the Northern Rivers region have been included in the Landscape lists in this Strategy; these weeds include Class 1 and Class 2 weeds and are categorised as Priority A for control. Lists of potential weeds should be widely circulated in brochures with photos and descriptions of the plants to all local weed practitioners. Information on identification and early detection of potential weeds could be presented at the Weeds Forum, and at special workshops. This could tie in with the aquatic weeds early detection program currently running from the Grafton office of NSW DPI18.
Suspected weed species should be submitted to the local weed control authority or sent to the National Herbarium of NSW 19. Some regional centres such as Coffs Harbour have their own herbarium at their Botanic Gardens where staff and volunteers will assist with plant identification. 20
Immediate assessment of the site and control methods A weeds officer from each region could be nominated as the “Early Detection” officer and this person could be responsible for assessing the site within two weeks of detection, contacting any relevant specialists required to determine the best practice control methods and deciding the best person/organisation to carry out the control. This officer would inform the CMA or relevant funding body of the funds required for eradication.
Funding. The relevant project officer would initiate access to the “early detection” funding program to allow control to begin within four weeks of detection.
Treatment. Treatment would begin within four weeks of detection.
Monitoring/follow-up. The project officer of the funding body and the Weeds Officer would collaborate to determine the frequency of monitoring and follow-up required and the funding required to support this.
17 Issue raised at CMA Board meeting in Dorrigo, 7th November 2006. 18 This project concludes in December 2008. 19 National Herbarium of NSW, Mrs Macquarie’s Rd, Sydney NSW 2000. (02) 9231 8111. www.rbgsyd.nsw.gov 20 Plant specimens need to be labelled with date, location, name of collector and growth form (e.g. tree, shrub, ground cover, aquatic). Specimens should include leaves still attached to a stem, and flowers and fruit if possible. Fresh specimens should bekept moist in a plastic bag.

Appendix 21Preliminary steps towards development of a standardised Reporting system
One of the aims of this Strategy was to provide initial steps towards the development of a standardised reporting system which identifies contribution to actions, meets Local Government Reporting processes, reports contributions to CAP targets and establishes the mechanism which enables the collation of data on NRCMA area investments in weed management. Current Weed Management Reporting formats across the NRCMA region were discussed at the initial advisory group meeting, the Weed Prioritisation Workshop and during the development of the Strategy with a wide range of stakeholders. There currently appears to be no standard Local Government reporting process, consequently report formats from as many LGAs as possible were sought to ascertain basic requirements and similarities. Some agencies such as DECC and NSW DPI have stated their interest in being involved in a standardised reporting process, however achieving a format that suits a diversity of stakeholders may be a very difficult and slow process. The format has to achieve the collection of relevant practical data but remain realistic about the level of data that is likely to be recorded by on-ground operators. If the format is too complex, operators will be deterred from participating in the process. An example of this is the current CMA Blueprint Recording System where one section requires categorisation of soil type eg krasnozems, solanchaks etc. This is beyond the expertise of most bush regenerators/weed control operators and hence this field is usually left blank. This type of data is also questionable in its relevance to weed control since most weeds are highly adaptable and occur across a variety of soil types. If categorising a characteristic such as soil type was later deemed to be significant to weed management, a more accurate method of determination would probably involve the use soil maps or the utilisation of trained earth scientists.
A draft possible reporting form is included on the following page. This type of form could be used as a standard reporting form by all practitioners to identify contributions to weed management actions. Once all of the LGA reporting forms have been obtained, a form similar to this but including their attributes could be developed which should then satisfy Local Government reporting processes. This type of form and an associated interactive website would allow collation of data across the entire region by being useable by weed practitioners operating at all levels (i.e. from Chief Weeds Officers to bush regenerators and Landcare volunteers)
The other important component of standardised reporting is the development of a specific weed mapping system that is user-friendly and that could be used across the Northern Rivers CMA region. Currently, several agencies are having difficulties with their weed mapping programs. One program now has no technical support as the supplier has closed. Supporting the development of a user-friendly weed specific mapping system is identified in this Strategy as an important priority for the NRCMA over the next few years.

The CMA No.This number could have two components to make it most useable by all weed practitioners from regional level to local level. The first component, the LGA number, could be used by all weed practitioners to immediately identify which Local Government Area a weed site is located in. The second component, the site number, identifies the site within the LGA.
Example: Region LGA name Proposed LGA no. for the
first component of the CMA no.

Second component of the CMA number: After the weed practitioner/data entry operator enters the LGA number onto the website system, the system could immediately allocate the next available number within that LGA, and that number becomes the site number. If the system allocates the numbers within LGAs as the data is entered, this avoids time that would be wasted if various agencies had to confer on numbers available.
