Roaming pigs in Tasmania's north-west causing destruction as council says it lacks powers to deal with problem​

22 hours ago

Wild piglets at Gunns Plains in Tasmania's north-west. (Supplied: Tiana Pirtle) I think the solution is in the name of the plain. This baffles me as Tasmania has eradicated all foxes and rabbits - you will not find one on the island!

In short:​

A population of roaming pigs is causing headaches for a Tasmanian council and costing its ratepayers tens of thousands of dollars.
The Central Coast Council is lobbying the state government for more powers to control the pig population, which is legally not considered "feral".

What's next?​

Without action in the years to come, the Invasive Species Council says the state could have a roaming pig population in the tens of thousands.

Roaming pigs are wreaking havoc in a north-west Tasmanian farming community, prompting "heated" disputes between neighbours, and costing ratepayers tens of thousands of dollars.

A population of pigs now numbering more than 150 has been roaming Gunns Plains on the Central Coast in north-west Tasmania since about 2000.

The Central Coast Council has been pushing for law changes that it says will enable better management of the problem, but has so far been unable to convince the state government.

Dr Pirtle said if left unchecked, the state's roaming domestic pig population could grow by 85 per cent per year, and could become a feral population of 30,000 animals over the next decade.
