With fifteen active control sites in the Wairarapa, some farms have thousands of plants on them! However, the plant is still relatively rare in the Wellington region and we plan to keep it that way.
Our pest plants team work hard on the fifteen sites to minimise the impact of this pest on people and livestock.
So if you see a plant with hundreds of straw-coloured burs, each 1.0–1.5 cm long, with many yellow hooked spines you’ve probably got Bathurst bur and our team wants to know about it and they’ll control it for free – to put those Aussies in their place!
Contact pest.plants@gw.govt.nz if you think you've seen it.

However, if you are one of the lucky ones, being the owner of your own home grants certain privileges. At Geneva we reward a homeowner’s hard work and good fortune by granting almost guaranteed approval on some of the best loan rates we offer.
Save more on fees and make bulk re-payments against your loan without any penalties. Home renovations, debt consolidation and car purchase loans suddenly make a lot more sense. Contact us today and see how being a homeowner can really help you.
