Weed control grants are available to help landholders control noxious and environmental weeds on private land. 

This program provides funding to landowners that reside within Latrobe City, and Landcare groups that are based within Latrobe City and are affiliated with the Latrobe Catchment Landcare Network. Applications must be for works that control high-threat weeds (noxious and/or environmental weeds) in areas of high biodiversity value, or where historic land management practices have resulted in significant negative impacts to the broader landscape.

Funding will be prioritised for projects that aim to protect, enhance and connect areas of native vegetation and that meet the following criteria:

• The property is located within the Strzelecki-Alpine Biolink corridor.
• The property contains areas of high biodiversity value or is within close proximity to an area of high biodiversity value.
• The landowner will be working with neighbours or Landcare to control weeds on a larger scale.
• The landowner has recently purchased a property with historic weed problems.

Activities that are eligible include:

• Weed control aimed at control of high-threat weeds in areas of high biodiversity (in or near bushland, in biolink corridors).
• Purchase of herbicides.
• Hiring contractors.
• Weed control on land greater than 4000m2
