The Department of Health provides advice and partial funding for the mosquito management program being undertaken by the Leschenault Contiguous Local Authority Group (CLAG). This includes areas of saltmarsh surrounding the Leschenault Estuary and the lower reaches of the Collie River.
The Department funds the University of Western Australia to provide a surveillance program for Ross River virus vector mosquitoes that includes monitoring adult mosquitoes in the Leschenault region.
The Department has also recently provided advice to officers of the Department of Conservation and Land Management in relation to management of saltmarsh and freshwater mosquitoes at the new Leschenault Peninsula tourist development.

Funding provided to the Leschenault CLAG is provided for mosquito larvicides on a 1:1 basis (approximately $4000.00 per year). In addition, DOH funds the use of a helicopter for occasional large scale larviciding requirements which may include the Leschenault area. The cost this year is about $2,000.
