Council loans cages suitable for catching possums free of charge for a 14 day period. Complete the animal cage waiting list form to add your name. Waiting time can be up to 2 months.
A permit is required to trap or catch and release possums on your property. Follow the Department of Environment possum guidelines to complete a permit application form.
A copy of the permit must be provided to Council before cage is collected.
Cages can be collected from a designated Council facility during business hours at a pre-arranged time. Cage is to be returned in clean and undamaged condition. A fee for cleaning or repair will be issued if the cage is not returned in same condition as it was loaned. Cages not returned will incur a fee.
