Media Release - Feral Pig Aerial Shoot to Commence in November 2023

Council, in cooperation with the Department of Environment and Science and the Department of Resources, intend to conduct an aerial shoot to control feral pigs.

The areas covered during this program will include parcels of land that are under the management of participating organisations and landholders between and adjacent to Palm Creek to the North and Crystal Creek to the South.

Weather permitting, this program will take place on Wednesday 15 November 2023 to Thursday 16 November 2023 between the hours of 5.00am and 7.00pm each day.
