New weed incursions occur when weed species not previously recorded in a region or a part of the region are detected. New weed incursions should be managed in accordance with the New Weed Incursion Plan. Weeds that present a significant risk to our region are reported to the NSW Department of Primary Industries, the Greater Sydney Regional Weed Committee, the sub-regional weed committees and neighbouring regions.
