Feral pigs and wild dogs have been well recognised as
significant problems throughout Australia and this project is
designed at implementing strategies such as the Queensland
pest animal strategy 2002-2006.
A regional management program was developed through the
coordination of the individual council control programs to increase
the effectiveness of the management of feral pigs and wild dogs in
the region, including liaison and integration with FNQ region
program. This was achieved through coordinating control
methodologies and timing of control regimes throughout the HESROC
region, to ensure a systematic and effective program is achieved to
reduce the numbers of feral pigs and wild dogs.
The project also helped enable council
staff, landholders and other stakeholders in the management of
feral pigs and wild dogs through education, workshops and case
studies.
