I have seen this Datura at this location, for several years in a row. PCS or any other ACT Government Agency have NOT made ANY attempt to control this Invasive weed at this location, to my knowledge. Valour Park in general is a Hot bed of invasive weeds with NO weed management plan of ANY kind ! It's a Disgrace, symptomatic of the ACT Government’s lack of ANY plan to control invasive weeds in the ACT. What are we paying our Exorbitant Rates and Taxes for, if the bare minimum of Weed management is not even attempted ?? Mmmm....😡
