The listed grasses being introduced gamba grass (Andropogon gayanus), para grass (Urochloa mutica), olive hymenachne (Hymenachne amplexicaulis), mission grass (Pennisetum polystachion) and annual mission grass (Pennisetum pedicellatum).
Aimed to minimise the adverse impacts of the five listed grasses on affected native species and ecological communities, the objectives of the TAP are to:
- develop an understanding of the extent and spread of the five listed grasses;
- support and facilitate coordinated management strategies;
- identify and prioritise key assets and areas for strategic management;
- build capacity and raise awareness among stakeholders;
- implement coordinated, cost-effective on-ground management strategies; and
- monitor, evaluate and report on the effectiveness of management programs.
