Pests of Our Region

Many animals have adapted easily to this region. Some of the pest animals identified by NQ Dry Tropics are significant because they are threats to agriculture. According to local governments in our region rabbits, wild dogs and feral pigs are most concerning.  Foxes, feral cats and locusts follow closely behind. 

Sugar cane

Each year NQ Dry Tropics invites applications from sugar cane producers that improve their practices. Funding is available to help with these improvements.

Applications have just closed for this financial year’s round of funding. For more information on future rounds please contact our office.
