Consultation has concluded

The Queensland Government is undertaking a review of flying-fox regulations for crop protection. We are seeking to understand the challenges of dealing with flying-foxes and their impacts on fruit crops. In particular, we are looking to understand reasons for ongoing use of lethal take, alternative methods being used, and barriers to the use of alternative, non-lethal methods.
