Caltrop (Tribulus terrestris) is a summer-growing weed found widely throughout Western Australia. It is most common in areas of frequent spring and after summer rain. Under the Local Government Act 1995 it is a prescribed pest plant in a number of shires in the Perth metropolitan area, the southwest and the wheatbelt. However, it is not a declared plant, and there is no requirement to report it to the Department of Agriculture and Food, Western Australia.

The Shire acknowledges and is aware of the significant number of mosquitos within the shire in particular the townsites and recreation areas and understand the impact that this is having on our community across the Shire.
