UP TO 45 jobs will be created with recruitment for a “Gamba Army” to eradicate the weed in high-use areas, including Litchfield National Park, Charles Darwin National Park and the Greater Darwin region.

Territory Natural Resource Management (TNRM) and the NT Weeds Branch are gearing up to deploy the Gamba Army.

The not-for-profit organisation has been engaged by the NT government to run the $500,000 project to protect biodiversity and high-use areas.

Some spraying will commence before Christmas, with other parts of the Top End to follow.
