The City of Kalamunda advises that a targeted fox control program is proposed to commence in various locations in the City of Kalamunda, commencing Monday 20 April 2026.
Locations:
The fox control program is a joint partnership between the City of Kalamunda and the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA).
Foxes are declared pests under the Biosecurity and Agricultural Management (BAM) Act 2007. Foxes contribute to the loss of natural habitat and the decline of native mammals and animals including nesting birds and reptiles across Australia. They can also cause a nuisance for residents with domestic poultry, livestock and pets.
The department has engaged a licensed pest management contractor to undertake all control activities.
In keeping with requirements of the Animal Welfare Act 2002 and Animal Welfare (General) Regulations 2003 and the BAM Act (2007) and Biosecurity and Agriculture Management Regulations 2013, signage will be placed at the entrances of the reserve when trapping and shooting is being conducted and within proximity of where the trap is placed.
Fox control activities will occur at night under controlled conditions and at night using thermal imaging equipment.
