"A new Brumby Government program will assist local councils to tackle invasive species by providing grants to individual councils to manage weeds on local roads, Minister for Agriculture, Joe Helper, announced. In Tatura for a meeting of the Future Farming Advisory Panel, Mr Helper said under the new program local councils would be eligible for interim grants which would go towards managing invasive species on roads managed by that council. “The Brumby Government is taking action to support councils to perform on-the-ground pest and weed management and this new program will deliver immediate grants to councils to ensure they can continue to effectively manage invasive pest,” Mr Helper said.
