Weed spraying
We carry out districtwide weed spraying three times a year on the road reserve outside residential and rural properties, with a pest plant spraying round once per year.
No spray register
There is a "no spray" register for the Kāpiti Coast district.
To be included on the no spray register, you must agree to take over the control of weeds on your street frontage from the road, including kerb and channel, to the property boundary for the entire width of the property.
If you don't control the weeds, Council reserves the right to spray the weeds when carrying out district spraying.
Pest plants
"Noxious weeds" are now known as "pest plants", and you can find out more on Greater Wellington's Pest and weed central website. Targeted species are:
- blackberry
- Japanese honeysuckle
- gorse
- banana passionfruit
- lupin
- pampas
- convolvulus.
Council does not carry out work on private property. If the weeds are coming from a neighbouring section, contact your neighbour or spray the boundary between the properties. You are entitled to control growth on your property.
