These are the six main weed
species prevalent in the
Stanthorpe Shire that compete
with, and displace native plant
species in natural habitats.
They compete for resources
such as light, nutrients and
water, and create habitats
for other weed species. They
also contribute to high fuel
loads adding to bush fire risk.
To prevent the introduction
of exotic weeds landholders
should implement bushland
management strategies that
minimise earth disturbance.
The main methods of weed
control are:
•
Minimising large scale
mechanical clearing
•
Mowing and slashing
•
Herbicide poisoning
•
Burning
•
Weed matting and
mulching
•
Hand removal
If you need assistance
identifying the most
appropriate weed control
method for your particular
situation, please contact your
local Landcare officer.

If you are fortunate enough to have wildflowers on your own property, you may wish
to find out more about the general conservation or management of such species.
Several publications are available and they include:
“The Stanthorpe Plateau Threatened Flora Recovery Plan 2006 – 2011” is a
recovery plan for nine (9) threatened species on the Stanthorpe Plateau (depicted
by images outlined in red). It is available from the Qld Murray-Darling Committee
Inc. (QMDC), PO Box 6243, Toowoomba Q 4350, and from the QMDC website:
www.qmdc.org.au.
“The Glovebox Guide: A guide to managing vegetation in Stanthorpe Shire”, which
includes rare species profiles, is available through the Stanthorpe Shire Council
(SSC) office on Marsh Street, Stanthorpe. Ph: (07) 4681 5500.
“Common Wildflowers of Girraween and Bald Rock National Parks” by
Peter and Leith Woodall is available through the Stanthorpe Field Naturalists Club.
Ph: (07) 4683 6374.
Land for Wildlife
Land for Wildlife is a voluntary, non-binding conservation agreement that
encourages and helps landholders to protect and manage habitats for native plants
and animals on their property. Queensland Murray-Darling Committee (QMDC)
is the manager of Land for Wildlife scheme in the Stanthorpe region, on behalf of
Greening Australia. Contact QMDC at the Toowoomba Office on (07) 4637 6250 or
Goondiwindi Office on (07) 4671 7900 or visit their website at www.qmdc.org.au.
Nature Refuge Program
The Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service’s (QPWS) Nature Refuge program is
designed to conserve land in perpetuity, under the Nature Conservation Act 1992.
Conservation agreements under this program are tailored to suit the management
needs and requirements of the landholder. Nature Refuges are a great way for
landholders to help protect Queensland’s significant natural and cultural landscape,
wildlife values and biodiversity while allowing sustainable production to continue.
Contact the QPWS on Ph: 1800 603 604 or visit their website at www.epa.qld.gov.
au/naturerefuge.
Wildflower Walks
The Rare Wildflower Consortium (RWC) will co-ordinate guided wildflower walks
during the spring wildflower season. Check local newspapers for details, or the
Stanthorpe Shire Council website at www.stanthorpe.qld.gov.au. We would also
like to register your interest in attending or hosting a wildflower walk (see inside
front cover for details).
