Buffel grass is a declared weed in the Northern Territory. It threatens local biodiversity, damages Aboriginal cultural values, and increases the risk of wildfires. The pastoral industry also values buffel grass for grazing.
You may need this permit if you own or manage land and intend to:
- import buffel grass into the NT
- propogate, grow or scatter buffel grass
- store or transport buffel grass
- sell or purchase buffel grass
- use or hire equipment containing buffel grass.
A permit may be granted for multiple activities.
There are two categories of a buffel grass permit:
- individual permit
- pastoral industry permit.
