Council Goes Full Boar on Feral Pig Management

Written By Panama TR4

ABGC are working collaboratively with industry stakeholders and the Cassowary Coast Regional Council to develop a feral pig management program to support growers in Far North Queensland.  

The Cassowary Coast Regional Council has set up a 'CCRC Executive Oversight Group', which ABGC representatives are a member of. This group is coordinating an aerial shooting program for the management of feral pigs in Far North Queensland between 18-30 November amongst multiple industries. 

In addition, ABGC have established a Feral  Pig Working Group with industry representatives to coordinate an ongoing  feral pig management program.  The Working Group is currently working to plan an additional aerial shooting program led by the industry to complement existing efforts of the CCRC Executive Oversight Group. It is also exploring trapping and baiting trials aimed at generating quantifiable evidence to assess effectiveness and to support the program moving into the future.
