01What changes in Canberra
Access Canberra says ACT-based businesses commercially using agvet chemicals for pest or weed control must hold an Environmental Authorisation because the activity is Class A and carries potential environmental harm. It also maintains a public operator register and identifies separate nature-conservation licences for commercial possum and venomous-reptile removal.
A Canberra campaign should therefore keep pesticide treatment separate from wildlife services and state only the authorities actually held. Belconnen, Gungahlin, Tuggeranong and Woden Valley can share targeting where coverage is consistent, while strata, government and commercial sites need decision-maker, access and operating-hour qualification.
