Declared Noxious Weeds

The following is an alphabetical list of weeds that are declared noxious in one or more of the Local Control Authority areas of the Southern Tablelands and South Coast region. For more detailed information click the name of the weed you are interested in. There are a small number of weeds which are listed throughout NSW as noxious in class 1 or 5 for which no information is presented on this website. These are generally either rare or not yet present in NSW, or in some cases not present in Australia. If you want more information about these species an Australian or world-wide Google search on the scientific name will usually provide information, and if you select "images", pictures. It is better to use the scientific name because it is constant throughout the world, while common names can vary from place to place.
