Pest animals on my property

Report all pest animal sightings to FeralScan. If you see a less common or unusual pest animal, or something you can’t identify, take a photo (if possible) and contact Council through the Online Services Portal or phone 02 9847 6666. For best-practice information on how to manage pest animals on your property visit PestSmart or Managing pest animals in NSW, or contact Greater Sydney Local Land Services for advice.

Council’s ability to assist landholders to control pest animals on their land is very limited. For wild rabbits on small properties, Council has a few cage traps freely available for residents to borrow. Once captured, rabbits can be taken to a selection of local vets for euthanasia free of charge. To request a trap, contact Council through the Online Services Portal or phone 02 9847 6666. Bear in mind, as animals are trapped and removed, new rabbits may move into the vacated areas. Therefore, efforts may need to be ongoing until seasonal conditions change.
