    Notice of 1080 aerial baiting program

    NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is conducting an aerial baiting program from 12 September 2026 to 20 September 2026. The operation will use 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison for the control of wild dogs and foxes.

    The program will take place in Watagans, Popran and Brisbane Water National Parks.

    The program is designed to minimise predator impacts on wildlife, especially threatened species, and to minimise the impact of wild dogs on neighbouring stock.

    Signs will be placed at the entry to the baiting location. Domestic pets are not permitted in NSW National Parks managed lands. Pets and working dogs may be affected (1080 is lethal to cats and dogs). Pets and working dogs must be restrained or muzzled in the vicinity and must not enter the baiting location. In the event of accidental poisoning seek immediate veterinary assistance.

    Please contact the local Central Coast NPWS area office for more information on 02 4320 4200.

About

Mount Olive lookout is only a short walk from Ironbark picnic area in Popran National Park and offers scenic views over Popran Creek. It’s a short, steep climb to the lookout, but you’ll be rewarded with great views when you arrive.

Besides the wonderful views, make sure to look for our native wildlife, like honeyeaters, spinebills and glossy black cockatoos. Spring is an amazing time of the year to visit, with magnificent wildflowers coming into bloom.
