Weed hygiene

Vehicle and machinery clean down procedures

Correct and thorough clean down of vehicles and machinery reduces the risk of spreading state and  regional priority weeds, and soil borne pests and diseases.
These clean down procedures have been developed to promote a consistent approach to cleaning vehicles and machinery across NSW. They have been prepared specifically to minimise the introduction and spread of weeds, including their seeds and other reproductive material.
The procedures also aim to assist those undertaking the cleaning and inspection of vehicles and machinery to understand their role in helping drivers and operators to discharge their general biosecurity duty.
