Broom

Broom is a containment control pest plant in the Marlborough District Council’s Regional Pest Management Strategy.

Land occupiers with broom on their property are required to destroy all broom plants within 10 m of adjacent property boundaries, before they produce seed, where the adjacent property is free of broom and the spread of broom will affect agricultural and/or environmental values.

In the Upper Wairau and Upper Awatere areas of Marlborough, Council has defined broom containment control areas. Occupiers are required to destroy broom plants in areas defined in the Strategy. Refer to the Strategy for further details.
