Noxious Weeds - Categories & Definitions - Published: 26 Sep 2008

An amended Noxious Weeds Act came into effect 1 March 2006.  Many new weeds were added to the list, and changes were made to weed "categories". The former W1, W2, W3 and W4 categories were changed to "control classes" (CC) 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Control Class 1: Notifiable.  The plant must be eradicated from the land and the land must be kept free of the plant - applies to whole State of New South Wales.
Control Class 2: Notifiable.  The plant must be eradicated from the land and the land must be kept free of the plant - applies to parts of New South Wales.
Control Class 3: The plant must be fully and continuously suppressed and destroyed.
Control Class 4: The growth and spread of the plant must be controlled according to the measures specified in a management plan published by the local [council] control authority (LCA).  Some CC4 plants cannot be 'sold, propagated or knowingly distributed'.
Control Class 5: The requirements of the Noxious Weeds Act 1993 for a notifiable weed must be complied with.
