June 3, 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n

Queenslanders are being encouraged to have their say on a new strategy for dealing with the impacts of feral deer.<\/p>\n

Agriculture Minister Mark Furner said feral deer numbers were growing and posing an increasing threat to biodiversity, agriculture and public safety.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnder the new strategy, we aim to make feral deer management more effective through partnerships and planning,\u201d Mr Furner said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause they\u2019re so mobile, deer graze across large areas. Control efforts are most effective when conducted co-operatively with other land managers and local groups.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s also very important to prevent any releases or escapes by domesticated deer or relocation of feral deer.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe draft strategy sets out the goals and objectives for stakeholders to help them better understand their responsibilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt also provides guidance for local government biosecurity planning and encourages a co-ordinated approach to managing feral deer.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that different stakeholders have different viewpoints, so we\u2019re seeking as much feedback as possible through public consultation to further refine the strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Residents can have their say at daf.engagementhub.com.au<\/a> or getinvolved.qld.gov.au<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Consultation is open until June 30.<\/p>\n

Feral deer are restricted invasive animals under the Biosecurity Act 2014.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They were introduced into Australia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries from Europe and Asia.<\/p>\n

Four species \u2013 fallow, red, chital and rusa \u2013 are established in Queensland.<\/p>\n

Red deer are found in the Brisbane River Valley and surrounding areas.<\/p>\n

They can pose a risk for motorists but also compete with livestock for pasture, damage crops and protected areas, cause erosion and spread weeds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
