Council’s annual roadside rabbit control program is currently underway.
The aim of the program is to protect native vegetation and address potential pest threats to adjoining landholders and the agricultural industry. The Rural City of Wangaratta is committed to being a responsible land manager fulfilling our legislative responsibilities for pest control under the Catchment and Land Protection (CALP) Act, which governs all landowners as having a responsibility to control rabbits.
