Mosquito management is a shared responsibility of the relevant Local Government, and the Department of Health (DoH). In particular, locally the arrangement is via a CLAG Group (Contiguous Local Authority Group) chaired by the City of Mandurah and attended and funded (in part) by the DoH.
I would suggest that this item is best answered by Dr Mike Lindsay of the Health Department's Mosquito Bourne Disease Control Branch.
