North East farmers relieved as dingo control measures remain By EMMA OLIVER LIVESTOCK producers in the North East have greater certainty when it comes to wild dog control methods with the State Government confirming the dingo unprotection order will be renewed until 2028. The order - which allows the control of dingoes on

private land and along the boundaries of public land within a three kilometre buffer - had been subject to review due to claims it threatened dingo populations. The announcement last week marked the end of the government’s 12-month review into wild dog management in the

state, alleviating farmers’ concerns there would be a roll-back of critical control measures. “Renewing the unprotection order gives stability and certainty to livestock producers in North East and Eastern Victoria, enabling them to continue to protect their livestock from dingo

predation,” said Minister for Agriculture Rose Spence. The Victorian Farmers Federation touted the decision as a “common sense move”, ensuring farmers have the necessary tools to protect their livestock in the face of wild dog attacks. “Farmers are breathing a huge sigh of relief and I would like to thank

Minister for Agriculture Ros Spence and Minister for Environment Steve Dimopoulos for listening to us,” said VFF president Emma Germano. Wodonga-based Liberal MP for Benambra, Bill Tilley, said the announcement was a massive win for community voices. ■ Continued page 2
