Agriculture Victoria - Integrated rabbit control

In Victoria, feral or wild populations of European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) are declared as established pest animals under the Catchment and Land Protection Act 1994 (CALP Act)Under the CALP Act all landowners have a responsibility to take all reasonable steps to prevent the spread of – and as far as possible eradicate – established pest animals from their land.

Good planning is essential for maximising the effectiveness of your rabbit control program, while minimising the impact on other animals. Consider rabbit density, distribution and habitat, as this will determine what actions are appropriate.
