Gunbalanya Station - Integrated Mimosa Control Project

This project will continue efforts to control Mimosa pigra (a highly invasive Weed of National Significance and a declared weed in the NT) over 1,200 ha on the Gunbalanya floodplain. This area borders downstream Kakadu National Park wetlands that are Ramsar listed and are a World Heritage Area. In partnership with the NT Weeds Branch and an experienced land manager with expertise in Mimosa control, Gunbalanya Station will use an integrated approach to control the weed, including aerial spraying; ground control; grazing management; fire control; vehicle hygiene; and control of feral pigs and horses to reduce spread. This will benefit habitat for listed migratory and threatened species.
