Feral Deer

In reply to the Hon. C. BONAROS ().4 February 2025).

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries): The Minister for Climate, Environment and Water has advised:

The operations manager for the Limestone Coast Landscape Board consulted SAPOL on ground shooting from roadsides in rural areas. Ground shooting operations of feral deer by the Limestone Coast Landscape Board have only been developed for roadsides in remote, rural areas with clear safeguards put in place and 500 metre buffers of farmhouses. As no plans are in place to ground shoot in residential areas there has been no conversations with SAPOL specific to ground shooting in residential areas.
