Other planned events: Notice of 1080 aerial baiting program
NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is conducting an aerial baiting
program in Nocoleche NR, Toorale NP & SCA and Gundabooka NP & SCA. Baiting is
to occur from 06:00 Monday 9 March 2026 to 17:00 Friday 13 March 2026.
The operation will use 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison for the control of wild dogs and foxes.
The program is designed to minimise predator impacts on wildlife, especially threatened
species, and to minimise the impact of wild dogs on neighbouring stock.
Signs will be placed at entries to the baiting locations. 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 any baiting locations. In the event of accidental poisoning seek immediate
veterinary assistance.
Please contact the local Bourke Area NPWS area office for more information on (02) 6830 0200.
