Camel & Brumby Control Services
F.E.D.S undertakes professional camel and brumby control operations to assist landholders, organisations, and agencies in managing large feral herbivores that place significant pressure on land, infrastructure, and water resources. These species can cause widespread environmental damage if left unmanaged, particularly in remote and arid regions.
All services are delivered where authorised and are conducted in strict accordance with NSW legislation, permit conditions, firearms regulations, and animal welfare standards.
Why Camel & Brumby Control Is Essential
Feral camels and brumbies can cause extensive and long-term impacts, including:
- Severe damage to fragile ecosystems and vegetation
- Competition with livestock and native species for feed and water
- Degradation of watering points, dams, and riparian zones
- Damage to fencing, infrastructure, and access tracks
- Increased management and safety risks on large or remote properties
Due to their size, mobility, and herd behaviour, unmanaged populations can expand rapidly and cause escalating damage over large areas.
Our Camel & Brumby Control Approach
F.E.D.S conducts planned, ground-based control operations carried out by appropriately licensed and experienced personnel using approved equipment and methods suited to large-bodied animals and remote environments.
Each operation is preceded by a detailed assessment of:
- Terrain and access conditions
- Property size and boundary considerations
- Livestock presence and exclusion zones
- Water sources, travel corridors, and herd movement patterns
This planning ensures control activities are conducted safely, humanely, and efficiently, with a strong focus on minimising risk to people, property, and surrounding land uses.
Large-Scale & Ongoing Management
Camel and brumby control is often most effective when delivered as part of a coordinated, large-scale management program. F.E.D.S can provide:
- Single authorised control operations
- Structured, ongoing programs to maintain pressure on populations
- Follow-up services to address movement and reinfestation
- Coordination across large or adjoining properties where required
Maintaining consistent management pressure is critical to preventing rapid population recovery and ongoing environmental damage.
Compliance, Safety, and Accountability
F.E.D.S places strong emphasis on legal compliance, animal welfare, and operational accountability. All works are undertaken under relevant approvals, with clear communication and documentation provided to clients as required.
Our objective is to deliver measurable reductions in camel and brumby impacts, support sustainable land management, and protect agricultural, environmental, and infrastructure assets through professional, ethical, and lawful control services.
