PIRSA Drought Relief - Manage Wild Rabbits (Mt Torrens Community BBQ)

PIRSA and Landscapes Hills and Fleurieu want to hear from farmers about their experiences with feral rabbits at a series of free regional barbecues in July at Parawa, Strathalbyn and Mount Torrens. At these barbecues PIRSA will outline the eligibility criteria to access support and will answer your questions about the program.

Eligible farmers will have access to a range of rabbit control tools including:

• Free warren ripping

• Free 1080 oat bait (for properties larger than five hectares)

Bookings are essential for catering purposes.

This program is part of the broader $73 million state government drought assistance package, and is delivered by PIRSA, in partnership with regional landscape boards, the National Rabbit Coordinator, and the Foundation for Rabbit Free Australia.
