Identification of serrated tussock
Serrated tussock is a Weed of National Significance (WONS). It is regarded as one of the worst weeds in Australia because of its invasiveness, potential for spread, and economic and environmental impacts. It can spread rapidly, invading pastures, native grasslands and urban areas, and already covers more than a million hectares across New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and the ACT. Find out more.
The Victorian Serrated Tussock Working Party (VSTWP) began in 1995 in response to the community’s deep concern with the spread of serrated tussock, and a strategy for the control of serrated tussock in Victoria was produced.
Serrated TussockA highly invasive tussock forming grass that is capable of growing in a range of climates and soil types.

Case Study: Woodlea is a residential development near Melton, west of Melbourne. Throughout the western outer suburbs, serrated tussock is known to occur in medium to dense infestations.
When the site was purchased in 2000, the infestation was widespread. In recent years, Woodlea’s developer has worked closely with Melton City Council and other agencies and contractors to control serrated tussock around the Deanside Wetlands and the Kororoit Creek. By doing so, the developer is improving the amenity of the area and making it more attractive for their customers, as well as fulfilling their planning requirements with Council and state government.
