Wild Dog Impacts and Management Efforts in Southern Queensland
Wild Dog Management Survey 2025
Southern Queensland Landscapes are conducting a survey to gather feedback from landholders regarding the presence and impact of wild dogs on their properties.
The survey seeks to understand the level of effort that landholders have made over the past year to manage these pests. The purpose of this survey is to ensure that the limited resources available for wild dog management are directed towards the most effective strategies. By understanding what is working on the ground and where challenges remain, we can improve the approach and outcomes.
Thanks to funding provided by the Queensland Feral Pest Initiative, this project has made it possible to explore how landholders across southern Queensland are engaging with pest animal management practices. A key goal is to encourage and support greater participation in these efforts. The success of the initiative will be measured by an increase in the number of landholders fulfilling their wild dog biosecurity obligations. Over time, this should lead to a noticeable reduction in wild dog populations and the severe damage they cause to livestock, native wildlife, and farming operations. Additionally, a positive outcome would include more councils adopting and actively implementing Biosecurity Plans, contributing to a coordinated and sustained approach to wild dog management across the region.
Let's work together to protect our landscapes and communities from the threat of wild dogs and other feral animals.
