Other planned events: Notice of ongoing 1080 program
NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is conducting ongoing aerial and ground baiting programs. Baiting is scheduled from 1 December 2025 to 1 June 2026. The operation will use 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison for the control of foxes.
Ground baiting will occur in Warrumbungle National Park.
The program is designed to minimise predator impacts on wildlife, especially threatened species, and to minimise impact of foxes on neighbouring stock.
Signs will be placed at the entry to the baiting location. Domestic pets are not permitted in NSW National Parks managed lands. 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.
Please contact the local Castlereagh Area NPWS area office for more information on 02 6843 4000.

Other planned events: Notice of 1080 ongoing program
NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is conducting an ongoing ground baiting program from 3rd May 2025 to 31st December 2025. The operation will use 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) grain for the control of feral pigs and 1080 meat baits for wild dogs and foxes.
The program will take place in Warrambool State Conservation Area as weather and seasonal conditions allow. Australian wildlife has a naturally high tolerance to 1080 and will not be negatively impacted.
The program is designed to minimise the impact of feral pigs, wild dogs and foxes on native vegetation, wildlife and neighbouring enterprises.
Signs will be placed at the entry to the baiting location. Domestic pets are not permitted in NSW National Parks managed lands. 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.
