Important information on leg traps.

The DCC recently discovered leg hold traps in Frasers Gully.

The contractor is checking the area and removing traps as they’re found. These traps may pose a risk for cats and dogs.

Please be cautious in the area while signage is in place.

It’s thought the traps have likely been placed by people wanting to trap possums for their fur.

While possums are considered a pest, people are not allowed to set traps on council land without permission.

If you would like to report a trap, see something you’re concerned about or have any questions, please contact the DCC on 03 477 4000.
