Fox control - Swan Bay / Burnt Point, Port Phillip Head Marine National Park
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 will be laying buried baits containing Sodium Monofluoroacetate (1080 poison) on public land for the control of foxes. Baits containing 1080 poison will be laid from Thursday 29 October 2009 until Thursday 24 June 2010.
Baits will be laid at strategic sites and other known areas of fox habitat within the parish of Bellarine.
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 parish 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 Lachlan Jackson by calling Parks Victoria on
