Weeds and post‑fire regrowth

Weeds often spread quickly after fire due to bare ground and disturbance.

What to expect

• Fast regrowth of noxious weeds such as blackberry and broom
• New weeds appearing along firebreaks, tracks and feed‑out areas

What to do

• Start monitoring early – act before weeds set seed
• Target known problem weeds first
• Avoid blanket spraying – protect native regrowth
• Clean vehicles, machinery and equipment to prevent spread

Your responsibility

• Landholders are required to control declared noxious weeds on their property
• Council manages noxious weeds in reserves and roadside
