Folks while we were overseas apparently CHCC has contracted Wetland care Australia to help with writing a plan for the control of the aquatic weeds. They are seeking advice back from the community.
The question is do we want bio-control which takes longer but will be more successful or do we want them to physically remove the weeds which offers short term solution but will simply provide a chance for the weeds to return. At present CHCC is of the opinion that we the residents want physical removal not bio-control, Im not sure if that is representative of us all ?. Certainly we believe that while physical removal is a good short term option, that it is not a solution and will simply waste 40K. The more robust and long term effective tool is to release the bugs now and let them take a strong hold but that will take over a year to start seeing the results (so we are told). We would rather see CHCC remove some of the sediment which also helps reduce the physical foothold for the weeds and let the bio-agent kill the weeds for good.
Please let us know what you want so we can represent the Korora residents.
