A draft report on wombat management has been handed to the Government, suggesting a cull of the wombats, similar to the eastern grey kangaroo cull.

The report has also proposed allowing people on rural land to humanely kill wombats suffering from mange.

ACT Greens Say Community Support ‘Unlikely’

The ACT Greens have criticised the plan, saying there’s little evidence to support the proposed management.

Greens Deputy Leader Jo Clay says it’s ”extremely unlikely” that the community will support farmers ”killing wombats”, especially without ecological and welfare evidence.

Non-lethal methods for wombat control were also recommended in the report.
