SAA/SNZ HB 294:2006

This Handbook has been developed to foster the use and further development of decision support systems for prioritising weed species for management at the regional, state/territory and national levels. It is based on current best practice in weed management science, in combination with the principles of AS/NZS 4360:2004, Risk management; and HB 203:2006, Environmental risk management – Principles and process.

Scope

This Protocol provides a generic guide to the development of a post-border WRM decision framework, including the key criteria that should be considered in assessing and comparing:
weed risks posed by different plant species; and
the feasibility of managing these species through coordinated control programs.
