North Sydney Council is committed to keeping the community informed about pesticide use in outdoor public spaces.
In accordance with the NSW Pesticides Regulation 2017, Council is updating its Pesticide Use Notification Plan to ensure residents are aware of when and where pesticides may be applied. This includes areas such as:
• parks, reserves and bushland
• playgrounds and sportsfields
• other facilities owned by Council
The plan outlines notification methods such as signage, website updates, and direct communication where appropriate. It aims to minimise harm and allow community members to avoid contact with pesticides if they wish.
The Draft Pesticide Use Notification Plan is open for community feedback until 25 August.
Hard copy versions of the draft plan are on display at the North Sydney Council Chambers and Stanton Library.
