Our region is important for natural produce and land management, however farmers and community are confronted with wild dog attacks on stock and the loss of productivity that results from this ever present concern.  This episode of Landline discusses the limitations of the new PAPP bait, and explores the impact of dogs on graziers such as our long standing Chairman Robert Belcher.  

The East Gippsland Shire Council developed a community plan in 2012 with a number of community members in the Bendoc, Bonang, Tubbut and Goongerah areas.  Some community members met with the planning consultants on 24 July 2016 in order to review the status of the community plan, and to shape new initiatives that the community is keen to promote. Follow-up meetings have been scheduled however the results of these sessions are yet to surface.
