Environment and Sustainability Fact Sheet EMF-05-FS-0006
Approved Pesticides List
June 2021
Introduction
Transport for NSW follows an integrated pest management program, which aims to use best practice
and cost effective techniques, with minimal impacts on the environment. Transport for NSW selects
from a variety of control techniques depending on the target species and receiving environment.
Pesticides are one of the control techniques used in the Transport for NSW integrated pest
management program for managing weeds and vegetation in transport corridors and Transport for
NSW lands, in conjunction with mechanical control techniques.
Table 1 and Table 2 list details of pesticide active ingredients that are approved by Transport for NSW
for use by its staff and contractors in outdoor public places where the maintenance of the land on which
the pesticides are to be applied is the responsibility of Transport for NSW.
The pesticides are to be applied in accordance with label conditions and any notes for application as
detailed in this list or an associated Work Instruction.
For the purposes of this list, ‘Pesticides’ is a generic term used include herbicides, insecticides,
termiticides, fungicides and pesticides.
