Evening Park closure Shooting for pest control

Parks Victoria will be conducting pest animal control in Point Nepean National Park. 
These control works are being undertaken by professional and authorised contractors.
 For public safety, the Park will be closed  on selected nights during this time period for the shooting program.
 When pest animal control activities are occurring,  signage will be in place and access points closed.

Fox Control Program

Parks Victoria are undertaking fox control in Point Nepean National Park to relieve predation of vulnerable and threatened native fauna. Programs involve the use of soft jaw leg hold traps, Canid Pest Ejectors and para-aminopropiophenone (PAPP) poison, as well as buried PAPP poison, to bait foxes in strategic locations.
 Fox trapping and baiting will occur until June 2025.
 Dogs are prohibited from entering Point Nepean National Park. If pets are suspected of having consumed a PAPP bait during the baiting period, a vet should be consulted immediately. An antidote to PAPP (methylene blue) is available and stocked by most vets on the Mornington Peninsula.
