Legend | |
Containment | These weeds are widely distributed in parts of the region or state. While broadscale elimination is not practicable, minimisation of the biosecurity risk posed by these weeds is reasonably practicable. |
Eradication | These weeds are present in limited distribution and abundance in the North Coast region. Elimination of the biosecurity risk posed by these weeds is a reasonably practical objective. |
Prevention | These weeds are currently not found in the region or state, pose significant biosecurity risk, and prevention of the biosecurity risk posed by these weeds is a reasonably practical objective. |
