Wild Dog and Feral Pig Coordinated Baiting Program

Feral pigs cause environment and agricultural damage, spread invasive plants and can transmit and potentially spread exotic diseases such as leptospirosis and foot-and-mouth disease. The Biosecurity Act 2014 requires everyone to take all reasonable and practical measures to minimize the biosecurity risks associated with invasive animals under their control.

To encourage greater participation, South Burnett Regional Council in partnership with Sunpork, 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 Thursday 1 May to Friday
9 May 2025. All participants must register their intention to conduct baiting no later than Thursday 24 April 2025.

For further information and to register your intention of attending a baiting station please contact Council’s Biosecurity Officer on 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.
