Manage invasive animals together
Learn about our region’s invasive animals, Council’s programs and how you can protect your place.
Invasive animals harm our environment, pets, farms and lifestyle. In settled areas, the challenge is bigger–but with teamwork, we can make a difference.
Why it matters
- They damage crops and gardens and impact on our native wildlife.
- They spread disease and threaten pets.
- They create costly problems for communities.
Your role
Under the Queensland Biosecurity Act 2014, everyone must take practical steps to reduce invasive animal risks. Prevention is the best tool–secure fences, remove food sources and report sightings early.
Work smarter
Effective control uses a mix of methods. Success depends on cooperation–neighbours, Councils and landholders working together.
Commit. Collaborate. Celebrate.
- Commit to responsible action.
- Collaborate with your neighbours and community.
- Celebrate a healthier, safer environment.
