COMMUNITY members are now able to share their thoughts on municipal plans for rabbit management across the Golden Plains Shire.<\/p>\n
The Shire\u2019s draft versions of the Rabbit Management Strategy and Action Plan have been released for comment, with public feedback to be considered for the final copies of the documents.<\/p>\n
The drafts outline a 10-year approach to pest control, with the Rabbit Management Strategy including the municipality\u2019s vision and goals for the issue.<\/p>\n
The Action Plan details how the Shire will deliver on these outcomes and mayor Cr Helena Kirby encouraged residents to read and respond to both documents.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a large rural shire, residents of Golden Plains are very familiar with the negative impacts of rabbits on our environment and the challenges of managing the rabbit population,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Draft Rabbit Management Strategy and Action Plan are council\u2019s 10-year framework to manage this issue and we encourage interested community members to read the documents and share their feedback with council.\u201d<\/p>\n
