Fox control program underway STRINGYBARK Bushland Reserve in Langwarrin will close until 21 July to allow for the undertaking of a fox control program. The reserve closed on 7 July so the program could be undertaken. Soft jaw traps will be used to trap the foxes. A statement on council’s Facebook read “this program aims to reduce and or remove foxes from the reserve to limit the negative impact that these introduced animals have on native fauna.” “The aim of the fox control program is to reduce the number of native wildlife killed by foxes in these reserves. Foxes are trapped by trained
Council officers using soft jaw traps. This information has been posted on our website during the past week, signage posted at the reserve and residents have already been notified by mail,” the Frankston Council comment read. They directed further enquiries to the Natural Reserves Team Leader on 1300 322 322.

Subsequent
years funding is to be requested through the normal annual budget process.” Two other options were considered by council. One was to “form the working group and fund the study at an estimated cost of $50,000 $70,000+. There is no additional funding outlined in the 2019/20 budget for this purpose. The funding would need to be found from other sources, which could include federal/ state government grants.” The other option was to “not proceed with the proposed working group and instead, as an initial step seek to participate in the design and delivery of the state government’s election commitment for a dedicated increase in park-
