Utilising and enhancing existing capacity to Control Weeds of National Significance on remote communities in the Barkly

The project will utilise and enhance existing capacity within Remote communities to control Weeds of National Significance around Remote Homelands in the Barkly region not covered by any other Natural Resource Management project.

The project will map the exact location of the Parkinsonia, Athel Pine and Rubber bush weed infestations around the homelands.

Best practise control measures with proper follow-ups will be done over the life of the project. Awareness will be raised within the Communities so as to enable them identify the weeds and thereby participate in monitoring.

Dudunggurra Coastal Care & Management

The project will address the need for a major remediation effort to preserve the rapidly eroding beaches in the Yirrkala environs, beginning with the beach at Yirrkala itself.

The project will continue to maintain a diverse seed bank reflecting the genetic integrity of local plant species. A local ranger group will be created to carry out ongoing monitoring and management of the local coastal environs. Without such immediate action these coastal areas are under significant threat of erosion.
