South Burnett Regional Council has partnered with Burnett Mary Regional Group (BMRG), Cherbourg Council and Gympie Council to co-ordinate parthenium control throughout the region.<\/p>\n

Natural Resource Management spokesperson Cr Kathy Duff the BMRG had provided $16,000 to clear the South Burnett of parthenium.<\/p>\n

\u201cCouncil managed the project and co-ordinated the treatment of the parthenium in our region as well as Gympie and Cherbourg Council areas,\u201d Cr Duff said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll parties involved have worked together with landholders to control this weed and clear our farms before parthenium gets out of control. I thank everyone for their cooperation in ensuring this program is completed successfully.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a follow up from the previous treatment when parthenium became a big problem after the floods in 2011 and 2012.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2011, the South Burnett Regional Council contributed $24,000 to help treat an outbreak of\u00a0parthenium<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0along Barambah Creek after seeds were distributed by floodwaters along about 80km of creek banks and across flats.<\/p>\n

Native to South and North America,\u00a0Parthenium hysterophorus<\/em>\u00a0was first recorded at Toogoolawah in 1955.<\/p>\n

It can cause dermatitis and respiratory problems in humans and dermatitis in cattle and domestic animals.<\/p>\n

It is declared a Class 2 pest plant under Queensland legislation and listed as a “Weed of National Significance”.<\/p>\n

\u201cParthenium causes havoc for our primary producers and the spraying to clear the region of this weed will have long-term benefits,\u201d Cr Duff said.<\/p>\n

According to the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, parthenium costs the beef industry a total of $16.5 million per year and cropping industries several million dollars per year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
