Upcoming wild rabbit control at Kempsey Airport

Kempsey Shire Council

NSW Local Land Services will be assisting Council to control rabbit numbers at Kempsey Airport between 1 and 7 May 2023, weather permitting. Pindone baits will be laid within the airport during this time.

To ensure safety and awareness, signage outlining the target animal, being wild rabbits, and date of poison application will be placed in high visibility areas when entering Kempsey Airport. These notices will remain up for at least four weeks.

During the seven-day period the Pindone baits are laid, an authorised Council employee, under the guidance of the NSW Local Land Services, will be placing the Pindone-laced carrots at several feeding stations in the landside area of Kempsey Airport. Please note that domestic animals must be maintained on a lead or be restricted from entering the airport’s grounds during this time.

The Pindone will only be effective if a rabbit has had three feeds or doses within seven days.
