September 15, 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

South Burnett Regional Council\u2019s pest management team has detected another outbreak of Harrisia cactus (Harrisia\u00a0martinii<\/em>) in the region.<\/p>\n

Cr Scott Henschen told last week’s Community Standing Committee meeting that the Category 3 weed had been spotted on a property at Ballogie.<\/p>\n

He said the cactus had previously been located five kilometres north of Nanango.<\/p>\n

“Harrisia cactus is a restricted Category 3 weed not previously known to be present in the Nanango\u00a0area,” Cr Henschen said.<\/p>\n

“This unpalatable succulent can form dense infestations that if unmanaged will reduce pastures\u00a0to a level unsuitable for stock.”<\/p>\n

He said Council staff and contractors have begun a surveillance and treatment program in the area and\u00a0an awareness campaign will provide information to the community about the cactus, how to identify it and how to report it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cr Henschen said biosecurity officers had also inspected 40\u00a0properties for the presence of Mother of Millions and other restricted weeds during July.<\/p>\n

Treatment of Mother of Millions continued at South Nanango, Runnymede, Mondure, Byee, Kawl\u00a0Kawl, Boat Mountain, Murgon, Moffatdale and Haly Creek.<\/p>\n

Splatter guns were loaned to landholders at Haly Creek and West Cloyna for lantana control.<\/p>\n

Spray trailers were loaned to assist with Giant Rats Tail Grass programs at Windera.<\/p>\n

Cat traps were loaned to landholders in Tarong, Cushnie, Glan Davon and Stalworth and rabbit traps were used by landholders at Nanango.<\/p>\n

Two kilograms of carrots containing calicivirus were also distributed at South Nanango and Crawford to target rabbits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
