Following the significant rain and storm events in Gunning, an increased number of mosquitos have been noted in the area.
This is common following flood events for mosquito numbers to rapidly increase and the best way to protect yourself and your family is to cover up with loose clothing and use insect repellent.
Council will also be carrying out vector control by spraying in strategic locations where stagnant water remains to help reduce the number of mosquito larvae.
Council biosecurity officers will be undertaking Stage One of vector control by spraying at Gunning Showground and Barbour Park on Tuesday 22 November 2022.
The showground will remain closed for the week due to the severe saturation of the grounds as well as the large area to be sprayed.
Barbour Park however, will be closed on 22 November 2022 and remain closed for camping until 24 November 2022.
