Corella numbers within the Shire’s boundaries are currently causing:
significant environmental damage to the Shire’s tree canopy. ongoing damage to other public and private assets and infrastructure (requiring high ongoing maintenance costs). diminished amenity in public spaces through ongoing fouling creating public health issues. habitat pressure on the threatened black cockatoos and other birdlife.For several years the Shire has been engaged in a corella management program to reduce the impact of these invasive and highly damaging pest species.
In conjunction with CBH, a culling program will be conducted over the weekend at the CBH site and on other Shire owned land throughout the townsite, with Forrest Oval being a key site. The Police have been notified and residents may hear shots being fired throughout the day.
The Shire acknowledges that culling of any wildlife is potentially distressing to some people. Unfortunately, it is a measure of last resort which must be taken to protect the larger environment, to minimise the increasing damage these species are causing throughout the community, and to reduce the pest corella population.
