Invasive Species Control Programs 2025 - 2027
Wilsons Promontory National Park will be conducting invasive species control programs from 1 July 2025 – 30 June 2027. Introduced species such as deer, rabbits, foxes and feral cats are all major threats to nature.
By removing introduced hog deer and rabbits, we are reducing grazing pressure on the incredible variety of native plants and plant communities, including some that are nationally threatened. By targeting foxes and feral cats, we are reducing the threat of predation for native species such as the Southern Brown Bandicoot, Long-nosed Potoroo, Ground Parrot, New Holland Mouse, Eastern Pygmy Possum and the Hooded Plover.
All animal control programs are carried out under strict conditions, compliant with all relevant legislation, Codes of Practice and Standard Operating Procedures, designed to ensure safe, effective, and humane practices are implemented.
For further information, please visit Prom Sanctuary.
Temporary toilets and showers on site at Tidal River Campground
West, Beach and Firebreak toilet blocks are being upgraded.
Works will be completed in late December, ahead of the peak summer period.
From 13 October to 19 December 2025, temporary amenities
will be in place at Beach and Firebreak blocks. There will be fewer showers
available than normal. Campers should shower outside of peak times to avoid
delays.
There will be no shower or toilet facilities at West Block
during this time. Temporary facilities cannot be provided as there is no
suitable location. The nearest toilets and showers to West Block are at
Newcastle Block. See the attached map for more details.
East, Newcastle, Tidal and Hill blocks remain open
throughout this time. Hill Block will be renovated separately in early 2026.
These renovations have been funded by the Victorian
Government’s Victoria’s
Great Outdoors program. Victoria’s Great Outdoors is a $106.6
million investment by the Victorian Government into better campgrounds, walking
trails, 4WD tracks and visitor facilities across Victoria’s parks and state
forests.
