Flying foxes are protected

SOUTHERN DOWNS: The Southern Downs Regional Council has reminded the community flying foxes are protected under State and Federal Government legislation.

The council had planned to undertake flying fox management works this week to relocate a colony of flying foxes roosting in an area on Sugarloaf Rd.

However, due to dependant juvenile black flying foxes being present in the camp, the council is currently unable to undertake dispersal activities.
