Pest and Weed Management PlanRev 0May 2011pasture degradation on not only QGC land but also neighbouring properties. The most effective solutionfor rabbit control as prescribed in the Rabbit Control in Queensland handbook, published by the formerDPI&F Queensland (now DEEDI), is the destruction of warrens with machinery and then as a „mop up‟,the controlled shooting of the remaining animals. The destroyed warren or refuge areas should then befenced off. These techniques, if carried out properly, should lead to a long term control of the rabbitpopulation, in the area, especially if carried out in conjunction with neighbouring land owners.Consultations in regards to the Darling Downs-Moreton Rabbit Board Fence have been conducted andare continuing between QGC and DEEDI.A Rabbit distribution map produced by Biosecurity Queensland, is provided in Appendix 9. QGC willparticipate in any Rabbit control programs that may be coordinated by local government or otherstakeholder in consultation with affected landowners. QGC Gas Field distribution maps will be producedas field distribution data is continually collated.4.4.2 Management of Wild Dogs and DingoesPlate 29: Dingo behind fencewww.dpi.qld.gov.au/4790_8290.htmPlate 30: Dingowww.dpi.qld.gov.au/4790_8290.htmThere are several techniques for the management of wild dogs mentioned by the DEEDI including theuse of pesticides in bait, trapping, exclusion fencing, shooting and guard animals (DEEDI July 2010a).Wild dogs and dingoes are not currently considered a significant threat on QGC tenements. Howeverstate government statistics show the number of wild dogs is growing rapidly in the area and is becomingmore of an issue. The DEEDI considers shooting by professionals to be of low concern in regard toanimal welfare and is considered an appropriate control method. QGC will be taking part in a DalbyRegional Council initiated Feral Dog Baiting Program. QGC will engage in consultation with BiosecurityQueensland in regards to future baiting programs.40 of 100

The recommended strategy for the control of pigs is trapping, andwhilst this is time consuming it is acknowledged to be the best solution in terms of welfare and controlavailable. The traps can be made with pig specific triggers that ensure that other local fauna is notaffected. QGC will engage in consultation with Biosecurity Queensland and other stakeholders in regardsto any future Feral Pig baiting programs.A Feral Pig distribution map produced by Biosecurity Queensland, is provided in Appendix 9.
