Seems to be under control at Nyngan

There has been such a good surveillance of the locust hatching areas within the area, that I believe things are really well in hand under the present arrangements between the authorities." Ray, Nyngan

Update on hatching and banding 12th Oct

As we move closer to projected peak hatching dates for many parts of the Lachlan and Riverina, we’ve seen a further doubling in locust reports this week. . Total confirmed hatchings are now at 1,190.
Strong winds hampered much of the planned aerial operations over the weekend. Despite poor weather conditions, limited spraying took place in Nyngan, Walgett and Bourke.

Aerial surveillance has also commenced out of the Lachlan LHPA, targeting areas in and around Tottenham, South of Nyngan and Condobolin. Post-control monitoring is also taking place to confirm the effectiveness of both on-ground and aerial control measures. Initial results are promising and show control measures are working well to date.

A rain front predicted for much of the State is likely to further limit aerial operations later this week.
