Wash Down Facilities
Preventing Weed Seed Spread
Ask us how we can help.
QMDC is providing an incentive to install wash down facilities in the Maranoa-Balonne, Border Rivers and Condamine catchments. Preventing the spread of weeds is still the cheapest and most effective method of control!
Why should I consider installing a wash down?
A wash down facility offers you:
- a contained location that can be used by visitors (e.g. contractors entering and exiting your property)
- help meeting industry hygiene standards
- improved opportunities to maintain healthy and productive weed free pastures
- an increase in the long-term value of your property by containing threats.
Why is QMDC offering this help?
Weeds pose significant threats to the health of the environment and agricultural lands. Because weeds don’t stop at the farm gate, the Queensland Murray-Darling Committee is offering an incentive to stakeholders in the Maranoa-Balonne, Border Rivers and Condamine catchment areas to install a wash down facilities and prevent the spread of weeds such as parthenium.
