Wild Dog Baiting Program 29 October - 3 November 2023

The Barcoo Shire Coordinated Wild Dog Baiting Program is being undertaken from 29 October – 3 November 2023 on properties within the Barcoo Shire. Council will be aerial baiting as well as some ground baiting during this time.

Visitors and local community members are to be vigilant with their pets during baiting periods and take caution whilst travelling around the shire. 1080 baits can remain active for long periods on properties adjacent to main roads and other road networks within the Shire boundary.  Be aware of the possibility that these baits can be transferred by wildlife from baited areas to non-baited areas such as our town commons, reserves, and road related areas. Please ensure you do not take your pets onto private property without first contacting the owner/manager.
