Council Invites Landholders To Join Winter Rabbit Baiting Program
June 12, 2026 - The South Burnett Regional Council boundary is located 60km from the rabbit-proof fence, however the region is experiencing an increase in rabbit populations. Landholders are encouraged to monitor for rabbit activity, destroy warrens and known harbouring locations, such as removing piles of old logs or bricks, removing dense weed infestation, clearing under old buildings and participating in co-ordinated pest animal control programs. Council is calling on local landholders to take part in its upcoming winter Pindone rabbit baiting program, aimed at reducing the impact of invasive rabbits across the region. Rabbits are a serious pest, causing significant damage to pastures, lawns, playing fields, crops and native vegetation. By working together, landholders can achieve more effective control and help protect the region’s agricultural productivity and biodiversity. Program Details:• Registration period: June 12-26, 2026 • Bait collection dates: July 6-July 10, 2026 • Location: Final collection points will be confirmed once participant locations have been assessed. • Cost: Free Pindone bait is a registered and approved method for rabbit control. Council will provide guidance on safe handling and application to ensure compliance with all legal and environmental requirements. Co-ordinated action is the most effective way to manage rabbit populations. By participating, you’re helping protect your property and the wider South Burnett community. For further information regarding best-practice pest management, please contact Council’s Natural Resource Management team on (07) 4189-9100 or by email |

Council Expands Feral Pig Control Measures with New PIGBAITTA Feeders
June 12, 2026 - South Burnett Regional Council has strengthened its feral pig management program with the purchase of two new PIGBAITTA feeders. These feeders will be used to pre-feed and bait feral pigs, complementing Council’s existing resources of five pig traps — two large and three small — which are available for hire by local landholders. The new equipment builds on the success of Council’s recent co-ordinated 1080 baiting program, which saw a 25 per cent increase in participation from landholders and a substantial rise in pig-baiting activity across the region. This investment reflects Council’s commitment to supporting landholders in tackling the environmental and agricultural damage caused by feral pigs. Feral pigs are a serious threat to our farming community, native wildlife and waterways. By expanding our control measures, we’re giving landholders more tools to protect their properties and the environment. Council encourages landholders to take advantage of the traps and feeders, and to participate in the next co-ordinated baiting program in October.

Change Of Speed Limit: Maguire Rd & Brocklehurst Rd, Wattle Camp
May 1, 2026 - South Burnett Regional Council advises that the existing 80km/h section of Maguire Road and Brocklehurst Road, Wattle Camp, has been reduced to 60km/h. After a technical review, a decision was made at the January 2026 Traffic Advisory Committee meeting to provide consistent speed signage throughout the local area. Cr Jane Erkens said that as the divisional Councillor she supported this change as it responded to local residents' concerns and helped ensure speed limits reflected the road conditions and the safety of all users. Please drive to the prevailing road conditions and adhere to signage. For further information please contact Council’s Infrastructure team on (07) 4189-9100 or by email |
