Regional strategic pest animal management plans

As a landowner, it’s your responsibility to manage pest animals on your land.

Your Regional Strategic Pest Animal Management Plan is a vital tool to help coordinate pest control between landholders. It provides a practical and regional approach to managing pests posing a biosecurity threat. 

How are Strategic Pest Animal Management Plans developed?

Our regional pest animal management strategies recognise that pest species are a problem across the landscape and can be regionally specific. Programs are developed in consultation with landholders, local councils, regional pest committees, community groups and other government agencies.

Regional Strategic Pest Animal Management Plans work to:

• reduce the social, environmental and financial impact of pest animals in NSW,
• improve community participation in biosecurity management Increase numbers of well-trained and resourced landowners,
• eliminate or prevent the spread of new invasive species,
• reduce the impact of widespread invasive species, and
• ensure NSW can manage invasive species for the future. 

How Local Land Services can help with pest control

Everyone is required to manage biosecurity risks to ensure better primary industries and environment for the future.

Our Biosecurity Officers are on the ground to work with land managers across their regions. We can help you manage pest animals through advice, training, awareness and best practice guidelines.
