AJP ACT Response to the ACT Government's Wombat Management Draft Technical Plan

The primary position of the AJP ACT is one of absolute opposition to Recommendation 5 of the report, which suggests exploring a Controlled Native Species Management Plan (CNSMP) for Bare-nosed Wombats under the Nature Conservation Act 2014.

AJP ACT firmly rejects any policy trajectory that opens the door, either immediately or in the longer term, to the lethal control, culling, or commercialised management of wombats. Instead, the ACT Government must commit to an entirely non-lethal, evidence-based, compassionate framework that supports landholders through non-violent mitigation tools and expands community-led health initiatives to combat sarcoptic mange.
