The Queensland Government has released a draft plan to help primary producers, landholders and local governments to manage populations of feral pigs across Queensland.
The Government is inviting landholders, stakeholders and industry to have their say on the state’s coordinated approach to tackling one of Queensland’s most destructive pest animals with the release of a draft of the Queensland Feral Pig Management Action Plan 2026 –2031.
The draft plan was developed through regional workshops, consultation and with stakeholder input, and aligns with the National Feral Pig Action Plan to ensure consistency with national objectives.
Minister for Primary Industries, Tony Perrett said feral pigs were a destructive pest impacting farmers, graziers, foresters and ecosystems right across Queensland.
“We are delivering a plan for Queensland’s future by bolstering the biosecurity network and delivering action on feral pests to protect regional communities across the State,” Minister Perrett said.
“This draft plan is about bringing everyone together behind a coordinated and practical approach to protect Queensland’s primary industries and environment.
“Feral pig management isn’t one-size-fits-all. What works in Cape York won’t be the same as what’s needed in the Darling Downs.
“Collaboration is critical because everyone has a responsibility to take reasonable steps to manage feral pigs on land under their control.
“This is why we’re working with landholders, regional groups and industry to ensure this plan reflects real-world challenges and solutions on the ground.”
