SCC’s invasive weeds project, funded by the Environment Levy, ensures levy contributions are reinvested into protecting the region’s environment and supporting resilient landscapes for the future.
This 5-year project conducted a variety of weed management control options and research trials using innovative technologies. The project explored drone mapping and artificial intelligence to detect invasive weeds at scale, environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling to identify weeds spreading through catchments and waterways, and trials of alternative control methods to reduce long term reliance on herbicides.
Why worry about weeds? In Australia, invasive weeds were cited as the number 1 leading cause of biodiversity loss and species extinction. It’s a billion-dollar problem. The CSIRO estimated the financial cost of managing Australia’s 3,000 invasive weed species to be around $25B – and add to that the immense cost of managing the environmental damage caused by these pest plants.
Council will run 2 more Weed Army events and workshops with practical, hands-on demonstrations that show participants how to work with the land, not against it, restore habitat, protect wildlife and save themselves time and money in the long term.

The last weekend in May was the date for the 30th Goomeri Pumpkin Festival and what a success it was! Thousands of people enjoyed the autumn sunshine and the host of activities around the theme of pumpkins.
Goomeri’s main streets were alive with craft and produce stalls. Dressing in orange and green added to the festive spirit, while many visitors had a new Akubra or ‘flannie’ shirt on their shopping list. The Pumpkin Olympics included shot put and running races, and the biggest pumpkin weighed in at an impressive 105.5kg.
The Grand Parade was outstanding with heritage floats, a horse-drawn Cinderella coach and services floats from Rural Fire, Police and SES. Music from pipe bands, drumming groups and the jingly bells of the Morris Dancers were followed by the sound bursts from the hot-rods, acrobatics and Indigenous groups.
Friday night was Rodeo night, with all the thrills of bareback and saddle bronco riders, the gyrations of the bull riders and youngsters on energetic calves. Saturday night was Twilight Food Night with dozens of stalls serving Thai and Greek, as well as the usual burgers and spiral potatoes – plus pumpkin soup to warm up your insides before the fireworks. Sunday afternoon’s highlight was the Pumpkin Roll down Policeman’s Hill, with entrants aiming to roll one all the way down hill, or land one on the Sweet Spot to get part of the $15,000 prize money.
Make sure to head there next year! You have ample time to crochet an orange and green beanie. ... See MoreSee Less
