Following the 2019 bushfires affecting Bunyip State Park, Parks Victoria has observed large numbers of deer entering and leaving the park, which is having a negative impact on natural regeneration. This has also been confirmed by reports from the local community. In response, Parks Victoria has obtained a permit from the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning to undertake a controlled, safe and humane deer control operation targeting Fallow and Sambar Deer within Bunyip State Park.Control will occur each month until at least February 2022. Upcoming dates for control are as follows:- Tuesday 3 November – Thursday 5 November 2020 (into the early hours of Friday)
- This program runs overnight from 6pm - 7am.
All areas within the control area will be closed during the deer control operation.
