Local councils
The 79 Victorian councils undertake a range of activities in order to protect and enhance their local environment, including climate change adaptation and mitigation, and management of waste, water, native vegetation, and roadside weeds and pests.
MAV supports council environmental activities through policy analysis, advice and advocacy, project support and management, and by building collaborative relationships with other levels of government and key stakeholders.
Councils are the "hands on" body responsible for weed control and eradication. Please contact the environmental weed officer at your council offices. See full list of Councils in Victoria.
