Glyphosate Working Group

Aims of the Glyphosate working group

  • To gather information from parties affected by a  ban on Glyphosate, such as AABR members and local government
  • To collate information on the science behind glyphosate
  • To provide information on:
    • The impacts of a glyphosate ban, or restrictions, on the control of weeds
    • The health and safety implications of glyphosate use
    • The experiences of other councils and organisations that have already restricted or banned glyphosate
    • The biodiversity and conservation impacts of glyphosate and other herbicide restrictions.
    • Weed management plans that show glyphosate and other herbicides are a necessary, but minor part of conservation efforts or regeneration, with herbicide decreasing to minimal levels over time
