Environmental weed invasion has been identified as one of the major threats to biodiversity conservation across Western Australia and on a national scale. Weeds compete with native plants for space, water and nutrients and can alter the vegetation in our bushland reserves. The City of Cockburn encourages all residents to help control weeds on their properties. This educational brochure provides you with basic information on recognising problem weeds within the City and methods of their control. For more information please contact the City’s Environmental Services team.
Weeds are plants that grow in sites (not necessarily non-native) where they are not wanted and have detectable environmental or economic impacts. Many garden plants have the potential to ‘escape’ and become environmental weeds in local bushland. Some weeds are listed as Declared Plants (DP) and Weeds of National Significance (WoNS) under state legislation and therefore there’s a legal requirement to manage them.
Weeds compete with native plants for space, water and nutrients and can alter the vegetation in our bushland reserves. Weeds can also increase the frequency and intensity of bushland fires. Weeds are a major threat to Australia’s biodiversity by reducing habitat and available food sources for native fauna.
To reduce the spread of weeds follow these steps on your property:
See our ‘grow local plants’ brochures for ideas on suitable native species.

Poisonous to people and animals. Renewed annually from corms. Can form large clumps. Spreads from seed and tubers. *Control: CH Declared pest
Poisonous to mammals. May cause skin irritation. Can produce many seeds. *Control: CH – when most seed has germinated Declared pest
