Encouraging a community coordinated approach The preferred approach for managing widespread and established invasive species is through a community coordinated approach. Where invasive species occur widely across property and jurisdictional boundaries, effective control is difficult and costly for individual landholders to achieve in isolation. Under these circumstances, a community-led, cross-tenure, landscape-scale approach is required. This involves proactive leadership by the community to control invasive species, with engagement and cooperation between government, industry and the community that adds value to landholder efforts and responsibilities.
