Published on 08 September 2025

Over the past few weeks, there has been a strong and sustained effort in dispersing Flying-Foxes. In recent days, however, the Flying-Fox have shown more stubborn behaviour, particularly around Lissner Park and the CBD.

To allow the community a small break, reduced dispersal activities will continue until Tuesday, 9 September with staff monitoring the flying fox population.

Council will update the community on Tuesday, 9 September advising plans for dispersal activities moving forward.

We acknowledge this may mean some Flying-Foxes will return to Lissner Park in the short term. 

We appreciate everyone’s ongoing patience and understanding as we continue to manage this challenging situation.
