Operation Columbus
Operation ColumbusParks Victoria, in partnership with Victoria Police and the Office of the Conservation Regulator, have launched a dedicated compliance operation, Operation Columbus, targeting unauthorised activities within Bunyip State Park, Kurth Kiln Regional Park and surrounding areas.Unauthorised activities, particularly off-road four-wheel driving, damage to infrastructure and firewood collection are having devastating impacts on the natural and cultural values of these areas. Parks Victoria have a legal and moral obligation to conserve and protect these areas in line with the National Parks Act (1975) and the Crown Land Reserves Act (1978).It is important when planning to visit a park that visitors are aware of the activities that are permitted and where there may be restrictions. For example, Bunyip State Park has different regulations to nearby state forests. Dogs, firewood collection, entering seasonally closed areas and driving off road (leaving the road or track to drive on fuel breaks or through the bush) are not permitted within Bunyip State Park. Offenders caught breaching park regulations may receive fines between $190 to $988 depending on the offence.Operation Columbus will be continuing throughout the coming months, occurring on both weekends and weekdays.Fox and Cat Control
Fox and Feral Cat Control Program – Yellingbo Nature Conservation Area, Bunyip State Park and Kurth Kiln Regional Park.Parks Victoria strives to protect Victoria’s special places. This includes the control of introduced plant and animal species. As part of an ongoing strategy, notice is hereby given that Parks Victoria will be laying buried baits containing Sodium Monofluoroacetate (1080 poison) and PAPP (4-aminopropiophenone) on public land for the control of foxes. Parks Victoria will also be deploying Canid Pest Ejector bait stations containing Sodium Monofluoroacetate (1080 poison) PAPP (4-aminopropiophenone) on public land for the control of foxes. Humane trap cages will be used for controlling feral cats.Baits containing 1080 poison will be laid from November 2025 to July 2026.These works will assist in protecting threatened animals such as the Helmeted Honeyeater, Lowland Leadbeater’s Possum, Southern Brown Bandicoots, Broad tooth rat and Glossy Grass Skinks from predation by foxes and cats.Bait and Trapping Stations will be laid at strategic sites, and other known areas of fox and cat habitat, within the Yellingbo Nature Conservation Area, Bunyip State Park and Kurth Kiln Regional Park.Notification signage will be posted throughout the Pest Animal Control areas and members of the public who are living, visiting, or working in the above-named areas are advised to take particular care not to disturb or interfere with bait stations or cages. While domestic dogs and cats are particularly susceptible to 1080 and PAPP poisons, they are not permitted in Yellingbo Nature Conservation Area or Bunyip State Park and dogs must be always on lead when in Kurth Kiln Regional Park.
