conflict ie
*dispersal is generally not supported but may be considered in extreme cases e.g. a high conflict roost where risk/significant
impacts remain after all other management options are exhausted.
In addition to the above management actions, Council will continue to investigate the use and
efficacy of other novel methods to manage human-flying-fox conflict.
Responsibility under this framework will depend on where the roost is located. The following table
outlines flying-fox management responsibilities based on land tenureship.

FF roost crosses both Council
and non-Council land
Management of roosts on privately-owned or non-Council-owned land remains the responsibility of
the land occupant (e.g. residents, business owners, schools, health care facilities, and other
commercial operators). If an occupant is concerned about a roost on private/non-Council-owned
land, DES or Council can provide further information about management options and the FFRMP
process. In some circumstances Council may exercise their ‘as-of-right’ authority to manage flying-
fox roosts on private land on request of the landholder.
