GOVERNMENT PEST MANAGEMENT
Pest Animal Management
Many introduced and native animals, turned pests, have established large populations across Australia. Pest animals are normally controlled because they impact on agriculture and the environment. Often the extent of feral populations means that eradication is not feasible.
Pest management is primarily the responsibility of the states and territories but the Australian Government plays a role in coordinating strategic pest animal management
Australian Pest Animal Strategy 2017 to 2027
The Australian Pest Animal Strategy provides a national framework for addressing pest animal issues whilst maintaining the profitability and sustainability of Australia’s primary industries and reducing the impact of pest animals on the environment.
