Weed management at Wappa Dam

From 5 - 10 July 2021, a drone will be used to treat floating aquatic weeds at Wappa Dam.

Seqwater Biosecurity Officer with drone at Wappa Dam

The drone will operate between 7am and 4pm, at a low height and should generate only minor noise.

Using a drone to spray weeds helps manage infestations and improve catchment health, particularly in hard-to-reach areas. 

The works will be subject to weather conditions. A navigator will accompany the drone pilot on the shoreline for monitoring and safety. The drone will land approximately every hour to be refilled. This will be done on land near to the area of operation. 

If you would like more information about this work, please contact the Seqwater Engagement team on 1300 737 928 or email [email protected]
