I refer to the post-November 2010 fire rehabilitation of the Greenmount National Park and the Goat Farm recreational mountain biking area, and I ask -
(1) Has the Department undertaken any activities to inhibit the re-emergence of weeds, and specifically Watsonia in the area?
(2) If yes to (1), can the Minister please specify the activities and when they took place?
(3) Is the Minister aware of a current quote for $8 800 to spray the area with Dalapon?
(4) Does the Minister intend to fund and proceed with this spraying prior to the Watsonia maturing and seeding?
(5) If no to (4), why not?
(6) If yes to (4), when will this spraying take place?
