Liverpool Plains Shire Council
Liverpol Plains Shire Council is the Local Control Authority (LCA) which oversees control of noxious weeds within the area (the local area) as defined by the NSW Local Government Boundaries.
Weeds listed as noxious are either poisonous to livestock, family pets, humans or be difficult to kill and control. Their invasive nature causes loss of biodiversity, lowers productivity and devalues property.
