ROC category (Far North Queensland Regional Organisation of Councils)

Category 1: Can feasibly be eradicated and spread prevented Category 2: Can be contained and reduced with a long-term view of eventual eradication from the region if possible. Spread can be prevented. Category 3: Isolated outbreaks can be eradicated, population reduced and spread suppressed Category 4: Control can be effective as consistent with level of Declaration and / or locals adverse impacts. Spread can be suppressed.

IWPW (Invasive Woody Plants – World)

H = Highly invasive - species have become dominant or co-dominant in the invaded region and are considered a threat to the native flora and ecosystem. M = Moderately invasive - species are spreading but still occur at low densities and are not considered an immediate problem. P = Possibly/potentially invasive - species recorded as possibly/potentially invasive are locally regenerating but the extent of spread is not known or is limited.

Y = if listed as one of the 36 plant species identified on the IUCN’s “100 of the World’s Worst Invasive Alien Species” list Qld Class (Declared Plants of Queensland) – Land Protection (Pest and Stock Route Management) Act 2002

1 Class 1 pests - subject to eradication from the state 2 Class 2 pests - landowners must take reasonable steps to keep land free of Class 2 pests.


3 Class 3 pests - landholders are not required to control these plants unless their land is adjacent to an environmentally significant area1.

1Environmentally significant area means any of the following: (a) a protected area; (b) land dedicated as a reserve for environmental purposes under the Land Act, section 31; (c) a world heritage area listed under the World Heritage Convention; (d) an area supporting a critically endangered or endangered ecological community in the list established under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cwlth), section 181; (e) a declared Ramsar wetland under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cwlth); (f) an area of high nature conservation value under the Vegetation Management Act 1999; (g) an area, other than State-controlled land, identified in a local government’s pest management plan as an area that has special environmental significance for native wildlife.


file: naturalised schedule lists May 2008.doc Class 1: Eradication list Subject to eradication if found. Comprised of highly invasive plant species currently uncommon and of restricted distribution in the Wet Tropics but with a proven track record of causing severe adverse environmental and economic impact elsewhere. Class 2: Containment list Subject to continual suppression if infestation is well established and widespread or subject to eradication if infestation is newly established and restricted in extent. Aim is the eventual eradication from the World Heritage Area if possible. Comprised of highly invasive plant species with a proven track record of causing severe adverse environmental and economic impacts either in the Wet Tropics or elsewhere.
