Weed Control activities will be as follows:

- All weed spraying vehicles will be clearly designated with advisory signs: ‘Slow Moving Vehicle' and 'Spraying in Progress', displaying the Contractor's name;
- Spraying will not be undertaken in wet or windy conditions and appropriate shrouding of the spray nozzles will generally be provided to minimise any spray drift.
Residents who wish to exempt their property from spraying can have their name and property address recorded on the non-spraying list, by contacting the City of Stirling.
