The old conspiracy theory that dingoes from K’gari (Fraser Island) are being “relocated” to the South Burnett was raised again at Wednesday’s Council meeting.<\/p>\n

During a discussion about the possible erection of a “Be Dingo Safe” awareness sign – or possibly two – at Allan Stirling Park on the Bunya Mountains, Cr Heath Sander said that over the last few years there had been “a lot of chatter” that dingoes had been relocated from Fraser Island.<\/p>\n

“Is there any way that we can get this information from National Parks and Wildlife to see if they are actually transferring the problem from Fraser Island to the Bunya Mountains?” Cr Sander asked.<\/p>\n

“It would just be good to know because the rumours are out there. It would be good to get it confirmed whether they’re just moving the problem to the next spot. If there’s a problem on Fraser Island where people are getting bitten and now they’re bringing them to the Bunyas and problems arise, they’re just relocating it.”<\/p>\n

CEO Mark Pitt said Council would write to the Department.<\/p>\n

Allegations about the relocation of dingoes have been raised previously in the South Burnett and refuted by the State Government.<\/p>\n

southburnett.com.au<\/strong> approached the Department of the Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation again on Wednesday for a response to Cr Sander’s question.<\/p>\n

“Claims that dingoes are relocated from K\u2019gari to the mainland are completely incorrect,” the spokesperson said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Councillors voted unanimously to support the installation of the signs which would make people aware there are dingoes in the Bunya Mountains National Park and surrounding area which should not be approached.<\/p>\n

Western Downs Regional Council would also be contributing to the cost of similar signs within their section of the mountains.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
