Victoria's Noxious Weeds Review

Reports available on this page

The review of Victorian noxious weeds is organised into three phases: Phase 1 - review the existing list of declared noxious weeds (101 species); Phase 2 - assess the potential of regional priority weeds not already declared in Victoria, but noted in Regional Weed Action Plans (nine species in total); Phase 3 - assess the potential of other weed species identified as important for the State. This includes species on the Weeds of National Significance (WONS) list, the National Environmental Alert List and other species nominated by the community through the Catchment Management Authorities (CMAs). Phase 1 was completed in June 2004, Phase 2 assessments were completed in July 2006 and Phase 3a assessments were completed in July 2006 and 3b assessments were completed in February 2008.
