Sunshine Coast Council

Wild dogs (including dingoes and dingo / domestic hybrids) live in bushland areas across the Sunshine Coast region. Wild dogs are a declared pest due to the impact they have on the grazing industry. Landholders are required to control declared pests on their property.

1. Advice on how to prevent wild dog impacts
2. Coordination of baiting programs
