Extended Mallee and Mid-Murray Agricultural Chemical Control Area
The boundaries of the Mallee and Mid-Murray Agricultural Chemical Control Area (ACCA) were extended in February 2006 (see maps and descriptions of the area below).
The chemical use restrictions that apply in the Extended Mallee ACCA are different to those in the Mallee and Mid-Murray ACCA, which have not changed. The restrictions for both areas are in force from 1 August each year until 30 April of the following year (including both days).
