Burdekin Shire Council officers were recently invited to join members of the Annan, Endeavour and Normanby Producer Group from Cape York at the Department of Primary Industries (DPI) Research Station in Ayr for a valuable knowledge-sharing session on feral animal control.
The session featured a presentation by Council’s Manager Environmental and Health Services, Paul Day, who outlined practical strategies and approaches to managing feral animals, along with additional insights from Northern Trapping business owner, Jordy Oostrom.
The session was well-received by visiting producers and DPI representatives, who said the information was timely, practical, and sparked extensive discussion.
Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort said the collaboration demonstrated the value of regional knowledge-sharing.
“Feral animal management is a challenge faced by many communities across Queensland, and it is encouraging to see practical solutions developed here in the Burdekin being shared more broadly,” Mayor Dalle Cort said.
“By working together and learning from each other’s experiences, we strengthen the capacity of all regions to tackle these issues more effectively.”
This collaboration highlights the importance of sharing local expertise across regions, strengthening capacity to tackle shared challenges such as feral animal management.
Council extends its thanks to the DPI, Cape York Producer Group representatives, and all involved in making the visit a success.
