[NSW Department of Primary Industries: 28 Oct 2009] The final draft of the NSW Alligator Weed Strategy 2010-2015 is now available for public review and comment. This strategy has been compiled in consultation with the NSW alligator weed reference group which consists of key stakeholders across the state. It is an initiative of Industry & Investment NSW and will supersede the NSW Alligator Weed Strategy 2000-2005. The NSW Alligator Weed Strategy aims to prevent new incursions, ensure the early detection of any new incursions and actively manage existing infestations. Alligator weed is well established in some areas of NSW, this Strategy prioritises management activities that offer the greatest benefit and outcomes.
If you would like to make comment on the strategy please contact the NSW Aquatic Weeds Project Officer, Melissa Freeman on (02) 6640 1644 or email melissa.freeman@industry.nsw.gov.au before the 20th December 2009.
