Protocol for initial weed risk assessment of plant species in NSW

One of the objectives of the NSW New Weed Incursion Plan is to assess the risk posed by suspect plant species in NSW.

Suspect plants will be subjected to a preliminary Weed Risk Assessment to determine the need for the plant to undergo the more rigorous NSW Weed Risk Management (WRM) system.

This protocol explains the initial Weed Risk Assessment process that will be used by Industry & Investment NSW.

The protocol will be used to determine if a plant species warrants assessment by the NSW Weed Risk Management (WRM) system, or if it should be added to a Watch List.

The protocol further outlines the prioritisation of species that will be assessed by the NSW WRM system.
