Roadside Spraying
Roadside spraying
Weed and pesticide control is undertaken to roadways throughout the Clutha district in both urban and rural areas when weather conditions are suitable.
This is undertaken by Delta Utility services Ltd on behalf of council and SouthRoads with herbicides to pest plants (noxious weeds) applied to the 300mm strip along the edge of the carriageway road shoulder.
Tordon brushkiller, penetrant & red dye is applied to pest plants. Glyphosate and oil are applied to road shoulders.
If you don't want herbicides applied to the road frontage outside your property, you can request to be added to our No Spray Register. Those currently on the No Spray Register can also request to be removed.
To apply visit the Roading Application Forms page.
