The Minns Labor Government is taking biosecurity and pest animal management support on the road, delivering a series of workshops across the state's south east through the Feral Pig and Pest Program 2025-26.
Between February and May, landholders can attend one of eight drop-in sessions throughout the Queanbeyan-Palerang region to speak with Local Land Services biosecurity and veterinary staff about feral pig control options, baiting techniques, livestock health, seasonal conditions and more.
Eligible landholders can also access subsidised grain to assist with baiting programs.
The workshops are a key part in equipping landholders with the skills and knowledge to manage pest animals on their properties, keeping livestock disease-free and getting the most out of their land.
The pest and biosecurity roadshow is part of the NSW Government's more than $40 million investment over the past three years in initiatives aimed at supporting landholders to control feral pig and pest animal populations.

Minister for Agriculture and Regional NSW, Tara Moriarty said:
"The NSW Government is committed to addressing biosecurity threats posed by pest animals such as feral pigs as part of the Government's more than $billion biosecurity budget.
"The South East Local Land Services pest and biosecurity roadshow is a practical and convenient way we're providing landholders with practical advice and support on managing feral pigs on their properties.
"These sessions can help landholders develop a holistic understanding of how to manage pest animals, from baiting techniques to how seasonal conditions impact populations."
