Pesticide Use Notification Plan

The New South Wales Pesticides Regulation 1995 requires public authorities such as Council to prepare a Pesticide Use Notification Plan that outlines how we will notify the community of pesticide applications made to public places. North Sydney Council has prepared a plan in consultation with our community:

The Plan describes:

  • what public places are covered by the plan;
  • who regularly uses these public places and an estimate of the level of use;
  • how and when North Sydney Council will provide the community with information about its pesticide applications in public places (i.e. what notification arrangements will be used); and
  • how the community can access this plan and get more information.
