Gamba grass annual report and snapshot

Gamba grass (Andropogon gayanus) is a declared weed under section 7 of the Weeds Management Act 2001.

It is highly invasive and creates high fuel loads. This can cause uncontrollable, hot and intense fires adversely affecting people, properties and rural communities.

Gamba grass is a greater risk to the environment than native grass fires. It destroys trees and wildlife habitat and can change landscapes.
