QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the Department of Health’s publication, ‘A Guide to the Management of Pesticides in Local Government Pest Control Programs in Western Australia’, which I understand was distributed to all local governments in or around October 2009, which states, ‘None of the requirements are mandated by legislation in Western Australia, however the Pesticides Advisory Committee recommends their adoption by LGAs as part of their policy framework for the control of pest species within their area’, and I ask -
(1) Which local governments have adopted the requirements in full?
(2) Which local governments have partially adopted the requirements (in each case, please specify which requirements have been adopted)?
(3) Which local governments have not adopted any of the requirements?

(1 - 3) Adoption of the Department of Health's publication 'A Guide to the Management of Pesticides in Local Government Pest Control Programs in Western Australia' is not mandatory. Therefore the Department of Health does not require Local Governments to advise whether they have or have not adopted the Guide, either partially or in its entirety.
