Notification of Fox Control Program in Lysterfield Park, Churchill National Park, Baluk Willam NCR and Cardinia Creek Parklands

Parks Victoria are undertaking fox control in Lysterfield Park, Churchill National Park, Baluk Willam Nature Conservation Reserve and Cardinia Creek Parklands to relieve predation of vulnerable and threatened native fauna, and minimise impacts on neighbouring livestock. 
 
Programs involve the use of Canid Pest Ejectors with para-aminopropiophenone (PAPP) poison and soft-jaw leghold traps to reduce fox numbers in strategic locations.
 
Fox control will occur until May 2025.
 
Dogs are prohibited from entering Lysterfield Park, Churchill National Park and Baluk Willam Nature Conservation Reserve. At Cardinia Creek Parklands, dogs must be on a leash and restrained to defined tracks. Dogs should not interfere with bushland areas and natural features of the park area.
