Council undertakes rabbit control on Council owned and managed land. We engage qualified pest controllers who use appropriate harbour removal and animal control techniques and disposal.
We do not bait due to the risks posed to members of the public, pets and native wildlife.
RabbitScan is a free resource for landholders and other community members of Indigo Shire to share rabbit activity, warrens, damage, and control activities in our shire. It also helps Council to gather data on the number and locations of rabbits across Indigo Shire.
RabbitScan can also be used to record rabbit numbers and evidence of disease. You can add records to the RabbitScan website or download the app and add records using your smartphone.
