Alexandrina Council Integrated Rabbit Control Program 2026

Council is implementing a rabbit control program across our reserves and open space areas to address the negative impact of wild rabbits on the environment, focusing on erosion within conservation reserve areas.

Council has already undertaken targeted warren fumigation. Working in collaboration with Landscapes Hills and Fleurieu, and with contractors, Council started releasing Pindone baits in specified areas in mid-February.
The baiting process will roll out over two months across. Temporary signage will be placed in affected reserves, including:

Pindone Control  Sites 
Open space near Strathalbyn railway station
Ferguson Road Reserve, Carruthers Court, Strathalbyn
Hartley
Goolwa Cemetery, Kessell and Skewes Road
Goolwa North Byrnes Road Reserve, Cemetery
Middleton Abbots Reserve
Middleton Newell Reserve
Ratalang Basham Beach Reserve and surrounds
Clayton Bay

Local and adjacent property owners are encouraged to be involved in rabbit control on private land to assist in the overall effectiveness of control measures.

Further information on rabbit control measures can be found on the Landscapes SA website.
