The Department of Environment, Science and Innovation is undertaking a ground baiting program from 24 February 2024 to 24 February 2025. Manufactured baits will be used to control feral pigs and foxes on Conway National Park (Lot 43 on NPW1144 and Lot 1 on NPW1145), Dryander National Park (Lot 24 on AP19346), Dryander State Forest (Lot 432 on AP19346) and Dryander Forest Reserve (Lot 5 on AP19346). Notices will be placed at the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service office at Jubilee Pocket and the Whitsunday Regional Council offices at Proserpine and Cannonvale for one week prior to each baiting event. These notices will remain in place for four weeks after baiting has finished. Notices will also be placed at the entrances of the Conway Circuit on Conway National Park and at Double Bay on Dryander National Park. A Park Alert will also be placed on the Department of Environment, Science and Innovation website (www.des.qld.gov.au) for the same period. Dogs and other domestic animals are not allowed within protected areas. Steps must be taken to ensure domestic dogs do not gain access to the baits or poisoned animals. Neighbours should restrain dogs and other domestic animals during baiting programs. For more information, please contact the department on 13 QGOV (13 74 68).
