Print Page
Council invites you to comment on the draft Pest Animal Management Policy.
1/02/2010  - 1/03/2010 

The Policy outlines Council's approach to working with government agencies and the community to help coordinate pest control in a well planned way. Council has prepared a discussion paper which aims to:

  • provide information about the policy and the proposed management approach;
  • gain community feedback on attitudes to pest animals;
  • the roles of the community, authorities and Council in their pest animal management; and
  • promote the reporting of pest issues to Council. 

Copies of the policy, discussion paper, a frequently asked question sheet and community feedback form are available under the 'related documents' panel to the right.
