The $25 million project to repair South Australia’s ailing dog fence and restore pastoralists faith in their future is underway.
This collaborative effort by Federal and State governments as well as industry will rebuild about 1600km, more than two-thirds of SA’s portion of the world’s longest, continuous fence.
The State’s Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development Tim Whetstone has started the ball rolling, appointing National Wild Dog Management Coordination Committee chair and SA sheep producer, Geoff Power, as chair of the SA Dog Fence Board to lead the project.
