Effective pest management requires coordinated planning at a range of levels: national, state, regional, local and property.
National plans and strategies
Strategic documents help government, industry and the broader community manage weeds in a coordinated manner at a national level.

Managing pests on state land
Pest management plans for properties managed by state agencies may be available from the responsible agency.
Regional plans
Pest management planning at a regional level, although not a legislative requirement, is undertaken by many regional groups.
Local plans
Local governments develop biosecurity plans for invasive plants and animal in their area to bring together all sectors of the local community to manage pests.
Property planning
Landowners are encouraged to, and benefit from, preparing pest management plans for land under their control.
Integrated planning
To be effective, pest management planning requires an integrated approach at all levels.
