Discounted Rabbit Control Available to Landholders

This initiative, available now until 30 April 2025, aims to make pest animal control more affordable and effective, particularly during the ongoing dry conditions.

Murraylands District Team Leader Casey Henderson said the initiative is designed to ease the financial burden on landholders while ensuring vital rabbit control efforts continue.

“We recognise that landholders are under immense pressure, and we want to make sure rabbit control remains accessible, even during difficult times,” Casey said. “By reducing costs and providing free equipment hire, we’re helping to support on-ground efforts to protect the landscape.”

“Even in dry conditions, rabbit populations can persist and cause damage to crops, pastures, and native vegetation,” Casey added. “Taking action now will help prevent numbers from increasing when conditions improve.”

Landholders interested in the offer are encouraged to contact their local district officer. For assistance, call the Murraylands and Riverland Landscape Board Murray Bridge office on (08) 8532 9100 or the Berri office on (08) 8580 1800 to be directed to the appropriate person.

This initiative is supported by the Murraylands and Riverland Landscape Board through funding from the landscape levies.
