When weed treatment is not offered
Lawn weed treatment stays off a profile until the business says it holds the Queensland licence or authorisation that chemical job needs. MyScapez does not decide which licence applies.
Business Queensland says ground distribution of herbicides is carried out in the course of the business of, at the direction of, or under the authority of a licensed ground distribution contractor, under the Agricultural Chemicals Distribution Control Act 1966. Some work sits outside that rule, including areas of Queensland where the Act does not apply.
