South Burnett Regional Council, in conjunction with Biosecurity Queensland, will be conducting another round of wild dog baiting in the South Burnett next month.
Council has reminded landholders they have a legislative responsibility to control declared pests on their land and participation in a co-ordinated baiting program is an effective way to help meet this responsibility.
“Failure to control wild dogs can result in livestock losses, attacks on domestic pets and the loss of native fauna,” a council spokesman said.
“Baiting stations will be held throughout the South Burnett from September 16-20.
“For further information and to register your intention to attend a baiting station, please contact Kerry Hayes, Council’s Stock Route and Pest Officer on (07) 4189-9312.
“All participants must register their intention to conduct baiting no later than Friday, September 6.”
