Queensland's Feral Pig Management Action Plan

Overview

We're seeking your views on Queensland’s draft Feral Pig Management Action Plan 2026–2031.

Feral pigs are a widespread invasive species that cause significant damage to Queensland’s environment and agriculture. In 2023, their impact contributed to an estimated $95 million in production losses and control costs to landholders.

The Feral Pig Management Action Plan aims to tackle the challenges posed by feral pigs. It provides best practice guidance to inform regional on-the-ground action, while ensuring a consistent and effective approach to feral pig management across the state.

About the Plan

The Queensland Feral Pig Management Action Plan 2026–2031 provides a framework for localised action to reduce feral pig populations and protect the natural environment. It will help guide regional plans that are co-developed by industry and local communities.

The Plan aligns with national objectives for feral pig control through the National Feral Pig Action Plan, while recognising the need for strategic regional management at a local level.

In developing the Plan, the Queensland Government sought consultation with key stakeholders through a number of engagement activities, including regional workshops.

The government is prioritising feral pig management with a $1 million investment to deliver the Plan as well as investment in regional feral pig coordinators in 6 priority regions and innovative techniques for control tools. This investment builds on a $50 million, 4-year commitment to strengthen the state’s biosecurity measures.

We’re inviting feedback from primary producers, peak bodies, industry, First Nations communities, government and interested stakeholders on the draft Plan. You can provide your input in the following ways:
