Maitland, NSW uses drones to handle weed spraying along the Hunter River in Bolwarra
Maitland, NSW Drone Weed Spraying Hunter River
The council initially tested a drone outfitted with spraying equipment during a short-term pilot. An onboard GPS system allowed the drone to restrict spraying activities to target areas. The drone consumed less water and herbicide than traditional spraying operations. Drone flights also prevent detrimental health effects for council personnel and the spread of weeds by ground-level equipment.

Technological advances embraced by Council | Maitland City Council
Last week, Council took advantage of technological advances and commenced the spraying of weeds using a specialised spray drone at the Bolwarra riverbank. This new process can replace conventional spraying for the purpose of weed control in suitable areas and comes with a number of benefits.
Project geslaagd
Maitland plans to expand drone flights to other areas that are tough to access using conventional equipment.
