A pest animal is an animal that was either originally domesticated and escaped into the wild or an animal brought from its native environment into a foreign one. Most feral animals were brought to Australia to control a different pest population. 

There are feral animals thriving on the Northern Beaches and Council is responsible for controlling these populations.

Should you have any enquiries or concerns regarding pest animals in the Northern Beaches local government area, please contact invasivespecies@northernbeaches.nsw.gov.au, or alternatively contact Council Customer Service on 1300 434 434 during normal business hours.
