Wild dog eradication program
The Wild Dog Eradication Program is an industry-funded program delivered via the Sheep and Goat Industry Funding Scheme. The program aims support the Western Australian sheep and goat industry by reducing the impact of wild dogs on production. In 2019 and 2020, eligible groups and organisations were able to apply for funding to support the eradication of wild dogs from within dog-fenced areas* of Western Australia.
The funding was to be used to:
- Support the delivery of on-ground wild dog control measures (including monitoring/surveillance; excluding fencing); and/or
- Support research and development (including training) to improve wild dog management and control; and
- Complement the wild dog control activities currently underway in Western Australia.
*Including the agricultural region inside the State Barrier Fence
