The city of Kwinana continues to use dangerous* herbicides to control flora in the area considered weeds.
This is a request by the locals of Kwinana to stop this practice and consider steam weeding or discuss other practices that don’t involve chemical herbicides such as glyphosate. Given the increase in rate revenue by over 3 million in this years budget* in the city of Kwinana, we feel it’s fair to request that the increased funds go towards practices that the people would prefer.
*This article explains the dangers and links to sources that have studied these dangers.

We, the people of Kwinana city, ask that chemical herbicides are stopped in exchange for a more natural method such as steaming.
