Bundaberg Regional Council is seeking to engage the services of an experienced stock contractor to supply livestock control and injured wildlife services to the region.
The successful tenderer will assist with wandering livestock found on Council controlled land and public roads, aid in the identification of stock and impound if necessary.
The service provider will also respond to reports of injured wildlife.
Community, Liveability, Sport and Recreation portfolio spokesperson Councillor Carmen McEneany said there were a number of reasons why livestock control may be required.
“Livestock may stray from their property in dry conditions in search of grass and water, or when fencing is impacted by bushfire or storms,” Cr McEneany said.
“The same factors can influence the number of wildlife found traveling in and across road corridors.
“While rural communities are aware of the dangers posed by large animals and wildlife on the roads, it’s important to take steps to minimise the risk to road users.
“The successful tenderer will provide an important safety service for the community.”
Cr McEneany said residents who encountered wandering stock on roads or Council land that presented a hazard and were unable to identify an owner could contact Council’s customer service team on 1300 883 699.
“While stock wandering onto private property is the responsibility of the property owner, if residents are unsure how best to proceed, Council’s regulatory services officers may be able to provide further advice,” she said.
