Report Foxes in Council Owned Parks/Reserves

CSO: Report only:

  • If the resident's property is adjourning Council's parks or reserves
  • If they have evidence that the fox came from the parks or reserves (hole dug from the park/reserve into their property)
  • If they have sighted the fox den or burrow in the park or reserve. Burrows are dug-out tunnels that have rooms for the fox and its family to live in.
