Other planned events: Notice of ongoing 1080 program

NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is conducting ongoing aerial and ground baiting programs. Aerial and ground baiting is scheduled from 1 June 2026 to 1 December 2026. The operation will use 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison for the control of feral animals.

The program is designed to minimise predator impacts on wildlife, especially threatened species.

Pets and working dogs may be affected (1080 is lethal to cats and dogs). Pets and working dogs must be restrained or muzzled in the vicinity and must not enter the baiting location. In the event of accidental poisoning seek immediate veterinary assistance.
