Council will commence flying fox dispersal activities in Arch Dunn Memorial Park with the aim to reduce flying fox numbers in preparation for Anzac Day. The activities will take place over three days from April 22nd to 24th 2025 between 5.30am and 6.30am each day as required.
These non-harmful dispersal activities will include audible deterrents (pyrotechnics, shotgun simulator, pool noodles, LED torches and flashing lights) and therefore residents are advised to take measures to secure their pets during the operation times.
All private landowners are reminded and encouraged that if flying-foxes land in their trees, they are entitled to discourage them from staying by using non-destructive disturbance techniques such as smoke, water sprinklers, visual deterrents such as imitation predators, bright lights, and noise from various commercial or improvised products. Please do not attempt to touch a flying-fox with bare hands.
For further information on what you can and cannot do with flying-foxes, please visit the Department of Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation website at www.detsi.qld.gov.au.
For further information about the dispersal activities taking place or to report roosting flying foxes during daylight hours, in numbers greater than 100, please contact Council’s Customer Service Centre on 47839800.
