Environmental Controls

Weeds & Plants

Identifying and managing invasive weeds on your property and around your home

Environmental Monitoring

Our waterways are an important part of the Murray-Darling basin, which is responsible for draining one-seventh of the Australian land mass.

Climate Change Initiatives

Council recognises the importance of demonstrating leadership in addressing climate change and its impacts on our communities through responsible planning and collaboration.

Firewood Collection

Wood cutting and firewood collection is illegal on all roadsides, reserves and public lands in the Snowy Valleys region.

Open Burning of Vegetation

SVC is a legislatively listed area in which burning of vegetation is prohibited except with approval. It is legal to burn green waste in your back yard provided you have a burn permit.

Feral Pests

Pests and insects cause economic losses to agricultural production, pose an unacceptable risk of exotic disease, threaten the survival of native species, and cause environmental degradation.
In NSW, land managers are required to control declared pest species on their land in accordance with the Rural Lands Protection Act.

Grey Water & Effluent Quality Monitoring

In compliance with NSW EPA regulations, Council undertakes a rigorous monitoring of the effluent quality control released from our various water and wastewater treatment facilities across the relevant Snowy Valleys Council areas.
