populating Mungabareena Reserve in Albury . It was first thought that this was a new weed record for NewSouth Wales but records have since shown that it was first discovered in this location in 2002.
A screen will be installed between the infestation and the Murray River, the water level in the lagoon is dropping and the infestation has spread further across the lagoon with the warmer water temp. Flowering has almost finished.
Albury is currently seeking advice on appropriate control methods.
