BMCC Wildlife Protection Area Policy

In 2010 Council adopted the Wildlife Protection Area Policy to provide the framework for the Council to declare public lands, or part thereof, as a WPA. 

 The Wildlife Protection Area Policy has the following objectives:

 1)    To provide a transparent, community-supported process to enable the Council to declare a public place, or part thereof, as a Wildlife Protection Area;

2)    To protect native wildlife in Council managed reserves;

3)    To reduce the area of land subject to impacts associated with companion animals; and

4)    To further communicate the responsibility of companion animal ownership.
