Fox control – Great Otway National Park and Anglesea Heath
Parks Victoria is committed to protecting and enhancing the natural values of parks and reserves across the state. Examples of this conservation management are the control of introduced plant and animal species which can impact on these values.
As part of an ongoing strategy, notice is hereby given that Parks Victoria are laying buried baits containing Sodium Monofluoroacetate (1080 poison) on public land for the control of foxes. Baits containing 1080 poison are being laid between September and December 2009.
Baits will be laid at strategic sites within the heathy woodland of the Great Otway National Park and Anglesea Heath where foxes threaten fauna. These locations are within the parishes of Jan Jac and Wormbete.
1080 poison signs will be posted throughout the baited area and members of the public who are living, visiting or working in the above named parishes are advised to take particular care not to disturb or interfere with bait stations. Domestic dogs and cats are particularly susceptible to 1080 poison and should be under effective control, muzzled or kept away from the poisoned areas.
Operational details may be obtained from Emma Danby by calling the Parks Victoria Information Centre on 13 1963.
