Wild Dog & Feral Pig Control Program

Wild dogs cause livestock losses and kill native fauna. Feral pigs are key spread vectors for emergency animal diseases such as Foot and Mouth and African Swine Fever which are now in close proximity to the Australian mainland. Participation in this coordinated program will assist in suppressing the feral pig population across a more extensive area of our region.

To encourage greater participation, the South Burnett Regional Council will be providing meat free of charge for landholders that register to participate in the coordinated program.

Baiting stations will be held throughout the South Burnett from the 19 September 2022 to 26 September 2022. All participants must register their intention to conduct baiting no later than Thursday 15 September 2022.

For further information and to register your intention of attending a baiting station please contact Council’s Stock Route & Pest Officer on (07) 4189 9100.

Protection of domestic and working dogs

Owners of domestic and working dogs are advised to restrain and or muzzle their dogs during the baiting program to minimise the risk of dogs wandering and coming into contact with poison baits.
