The NSW Weeds Action Program aims to reduce the risk and impact of weeds through implementation of the NSW Invasive Species Plan 2023-2028 and the NSW Biosecurity & Food Safety Strategy 2022-2030. The Regional Sub-program 2023-2024 for Local Control Authorities for Weeds is a 1-year instalment of the 5-year NSW Weeds Action Program Guidelines 2020-2025.

The objective of the program is to deliver funding to Local Control Authorities for weeds to:

• prevent the establishment of new high risk (state and regional priority) weeds

• eliminate or prevent the spread of state and regional priority weeds

• ensure NSW has the ability and commitment to manage state and regional priority weeds.

This program is funded and administered by Department of Primary Industries.
