EVENT DESCRIPTION

Anytime between 3pm and 5pm

The government is reviewing its approach to dingo management to most appropriately balance the protection of livestock and the conservation of dingoes.

Our understanding about dingoes in Victoria has evolved as a result of new scientific research. Evidence suggests that a significant proportion of wild dogs are pure dingoes, not hybrids as previously believed.

No decision has been made yet on future policy settings beyond 1 October when the current unprotection order is set to expire.

The livestock predation survey showed that many landowners would like a further opportunity to meet in person to discuss how they are impacted by current regulatory settings and to provide views on how Victoria could achieve a balance between dingo conservation and predation management. If you have a question for DEECA or wish to provide further input, please drop by between 3pm and 5pm to speak with senior DEECA staff.

Feedback from this consultation will build on our understanding of the economic and social impacts of the dingo unprotection order, as informed by recent stakeholder engagement, correspondence, and data collection exercises.

Light refreshments along with tea and coffee will be provided at the drop-in sessions.

DEECA values the insight you can bring to this issue, and we hope you can join us at short notice.
