Flying-Fox Dispersal Program Extended

Published on 03 June 2025

Council has extended the Flying-fox Dispersal Program for an additional two weeks, with the Maintenance Phase now continuing until Tuesday, 17 June 2025.

Ongoing maintenance is essential to support the relocation of flying-fox colonies away from unsuitable urban areas and to promote the success and sustainability of the overall dispersal strategy. Council remains committed to balancing community amenity with the protection of our native wildlife.

The community is likely to experience disturbances between 5:00am–7:00am daily until Tuesday, 17 June 2025.

Please ensure noise-sensitive pets are kept indoors during this time.

Please report flying-foxes that are injured or in unsuitable locations directly to Biodiversity 1300 024 705.

Council acknowledges the significant impact the dispersal has on residents and thanks each and every one of you for your patience and understanding.
