ACT biosecurity has treated and taken what seed heads could be reached for disposal.
Will follow up.

Glad to hear it has been treated. Did they also deal with the nearby specimen on Park Street, which appears in iNaturalist mappings, but doesn't seem to show up on this site? The Park Street specimen was still there when I checked this morning (1 August).
I'm a little puzzled as to why this record is labelled as "Kaleen", when it is actually in Belconnen (meaning the suburb, not the region).

Hi Eric, the map is broken up into a grid and each square of the grid is given a name (such as ‘Kaleen’). Your sighting is in the far bottom left hand corner of the Kaleen map which covers many suburbs other than Kaleen. If you type in Kaleen into the ‘quick search’ you can see the boundaries of the Kaleen map and all the sightings in that area.
