No Spray Register Application

Spraying

The Shire of Kellerberrin maintains roadsides and/or reserves with a combination of slashing and selected herbicide sprays to control the growth of vegetation and weeds. 

As part of the ongoing maintenance works, Council will spray, which will include footpaths, kerblines, public access ways, main open drains, rural roadside shoulders, drains and verges throughout the Shire each year.  Spraying will be conducted under strict supervision and guidelines.

If you do not wish for chemicals to be used on your verge please inform Council and register your verge in the form below. We acknowledge that some residents do not wish to have areas adjacent to their property sprayed.

Note: If you choose to join the No Spray Register, vegetation control on your property frontage and/or sides, may be reduced and it will be your responsibility to maintain the area/s via other methods.

If your verge is registered and not maintained the Shire will spray to reduce fire risk without notice

Mosquito Fogging

Aside from being a nuisance interfering with leisure time and outdoor activities, mosquitoes can be a serious pest and be carriers of disease. Many mosquito species in WA transmit disease-carrying viruses or parasites. Two of the most common mosquito-borne diseases in WA are Ross River Virus and Barmah Forest Virus. There is no cure for mosquito-borne diseases with the only way to prevent contracting a disease is to avoid being bitten.

The Shire of Kellerberrin regularly undertakes a Mosquito Spraying Program on Shire owned properties and assets around town and may undertake a fogging program (weather permitting). Public NOtice  

  • Request the fogging equipment to be turned off when going past your residence. This can be due to respiratory sensitivities, beekeeping or other concerns. If you would like the fogger to be turned off please complete the below form BEFORE the fogging commences.
  • Householders with caged birds or fish ponds may wish to cover their cages and ponds to prevent exposure of their animals.
  • Where possible keep animals in an enclosed area or towards the rear of the property.
  • Close windows and turn off air conditioners while the drift is present.
  • Avoid contact with the drift and don’t let children approach the vehicle.
  • Check your backyard for mosquito breeding, and don’t forget your septic and water tanks.
  • Avoid being outside during dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are at their most active.
