Explain the three levels of Government in Australia Federal - Under the Australian federal system of government, primary legislative and policy responsibility for natural resource management, including weed management, lies with the individual state and territory governments. The Australian Government provides national policy leadership and direction, working with state and territory governments through the Natural Resource Management Ministerial Council. The Australian Government is responsible for international border protection, including regulating the import and export of plant material. The Australian Government manages Commonwealth lands, such as defence establishments and Commonwealth national parks. The Australian Government also, in cooperation with other governments and landowners, administers legislation, policies, programs and associated activities to manage weeds at the national level. Two Australian Government departments are primarily responsible for weed issues.

State State and territory governments encourage responsible weed management through regulation, developing and implementing effective policies and programs, such as research and awareness and educational activities, and providing positive support through financial incentives and assistance schemes as well as appropriate standards and regulations. They are also responsible for managing weeds on state and territory public lands, which constitute more than 25 per cent of the area of some states and territories. State and territory governments regulate the spread and control of targeted weed species, and assign responsibilities for control.

Local
Local governments have a role in managing weed problems on their own land, and support weed management through activities such as the development of local weed strategies and community weed management programs. In some states, local governments are responsible for planning, coordinating and monitoring noxious weed control. Your local government may be the most useful source for information on which weeds are problems in your area. Please contact your local government or check their website for information on local weed issues or weed management responsibilities in your area.

COAT OF ARMS

The Australian Coat of Arms are the property of the Commonwealth of Australia and are used by the Commonwealth to authenticate documents, to indicate ownership of property, and for other purposes of identification. They may not be used or reproduced by others for other purposes without permission. The first grant of armorial ensigns, crest and supporters to the Commonwealth of Australia was made in 1908; a new design was granted by [|Royal Warrant]in 1912. The Commonweaalth Arms are commonly but incorrectly referred to as the 'Commonwealth Crest'. Strictly the Crest is the device above shield and hemlet on a coat of arms; in Australia's case it is the seven-pointed gold star on the wreath.
