Little Corella
Council and the community have been dealing with the Little Corella problem for decades. The Corella problem is a State-wide issue and has been recognized by the Local Government Association of South Australia as an issue of concern for many councils and previously moved 2 motions calling for State Government departments to find a resolution to the matter. Further information can be found on the DEWNR website www.environment.sa.gov.au/topics/plants-and-animals/living-with-wildlife/little-corellas
Council receives representations from residents and businesses regarding management of Little Corellas. Councils Corella Management Plan 2020 states that services are limited to bird scaring, visual deterrents, and sparse shooting.
Little Corella’s are a whole of community issue that requires input from everyone if there is to be any chance of a solution. Residents that experience nuisance issues on private land, need to consider and undertake their own management controls on their property. Council will not endorse management plans/actions for private land. Whilst Council cannot endorse service providers for private land, the following parties may be able to assist residents:
- the Sporting Shooters Association whose volunteers undertake scare methods
- the Port Pirie Gun Club whose services include firing special rocket shells which create an airborne explosion designed to scare (not kill)
- Contractors who provide shooting services throughout the region
Residents can contact these parties direct or contact Council for further information.
