Spraying and slashing update
In response to the recent significant rainfall, the City has been actively managing vegetation and maintaining public spaces to ensure they remain safe, clean and accessible for everyone. Below is an update on our ongoing spraying and slashing efforts:
Completed spraying areas
- Baynton Drive & Bayview area: Spraying of trees has been completed, addressing overgrowth and ensuring clear, safe spaces for residents and motorists.
- Dampier Highway (Balmoral Road to Dreamers Hill): Spraying has been carried out to maintain clear sightlines for drivers and prevent vegetation encroachment into the roadway.
Current spraying works
- Dampier Highway (Searipple Road to Euro Boulevard): Night works were completed on 24 February, targeting the median strips along this section to keep the area clear for all road users.
- Bulgarra Footpaths (Searipple Road to Maitland Road): The spraying team is currently focusing on key pedestrian areas to control vegetation along the footpaths, ensuring safe walking paths.
Upcoming spraying works
- Once spraying in Bulgarra is complete, the team will move on to Baynton West, followed by Nickol, with work progressing in priority order after slashing activities are completed.
Completed slashing areas
- Roebourne, Wickham, Point Samson, Bulgarra and the Airport: Slashing has been completed in these areas, helping to reduce overgrowth and maintain clear, safe public spaces. A secondary slashing rotation will be required in these regions to address regrowth of weeds.
Upcoming slashing works
- Slashing will soon begin in Baynton, Nickol, Millars and Pegs Creek, with expected completion by the end of March.
- Additional slashing work is scheduled for LIA and Gap Ridge, expected to be completed by early April.
The City appreciates the community’s patience and cooperation as we continue to maintain and improve our public spaces.
