(2) Fifty percent funding for larvicides and 100 percent funding of helicopter hire for aerial larvicide applications. (3) A budget detailing proposed larvicide requirements is to be submitted to the Department of Health (DOH) by 31 July each year. The helicopter provider is paid directly by the DOH. (4) Mosquito larvicides, aerial application of larvicides, minor items of related equipment and topographical surveys. (5) Fifty percent funding of the larvicide budget and an additional 10 percent of the Shire larvicide budget to be placed in a Shire trust fund for contingencies. The Shire is also required to undertake the necessary surveys before and after aerial treatments. The Shire is also strongly encouraged to implement other appropriate components of an integrated mosquito management program. (6) 2006-07 was the first and only year the Shire requested that funding. Fifty percent of the larvicide budget, or $35,280, was contributed by the DOH. (7) Yes. A funding submission for larvicide was received for 2006-07 and the full request was funded. (8) No. Other important parts of an integrated mosquito management program include: · land-use planning that limits development in natural environments with a high risk of mosquito-borne disease; · personal protection and education; · habitat modification (where environmentally acceptable) to limit mosquito breeding; and · water and engineering management practices that do not create or exacerbate mosquito-breeding.
