18.01.2022 Attention all household gardeners who live in Victoria Animal Welfare Victoria Wildlife friendly regulations for household fruit netting Attention all household gardeners who live in Victoria... If you use netting to protect your fruit or vegetable harvest you will need to be aware of new provisions under Victoria’s Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Regulations 2019 (POCTA Regulations). The regulations, being introduced in September 2021, relate to the sale and use of household fruit netting. They do not apply to commercial circumstances. Fruit netting is commonly used by household gardeners to protect their trees and fruit from hungry wildlife. Netting with a large mesh size is more likely to entangle birds, possums or flying foxes. Their subsequent struggling to free themselves may cause deep cuts and strangulation, often leading to death. From 1 September 2021, any netting used to protect household fruit-trees, vegetable gardens, or other fruiting plants must have a mesh size, when at full stretch, of no greater than 5mm x 5mm. Netting advertised or offered for sale for household use must also be compliant with these required mesh specifications. If you are looking to purchase netting this year, it is highly recommended that you buy netting that meets these requirements for this harvest season. Not only will this protect our wildlife, but it will mean that you don’t need to replace non-compliant netting next year. Any existing household fruit netting that does not meet these specifications must be replaced with appropriate netting before 1 September 2021. An alternative to netting is the use of fruit bags that are placed over individual branches. These also reduce the risk of capturing animals while leaving excess fruit available for hungry wildlife. Don’t forget that old netting, when discarded, can still become an entanglement risk. It helps to place old netting into a strong biodegradable bag before putting into landfill. Further advice on protecting fruit trees and wildlife, and helping injured wildlife, is available at https://agriculture.vic.gov.au//protecting-fruit-trees-and The use of appropriate mesh sized netting supports a productive harvest while also protecting wildlife. You can find more information on the POCTA Regulations at http://agriculture.vic.gov.au//prevention-of-cruelty-to-an Please direct any requests and questions you may have on this matter to the Animal Welfare Victoria team via e-mail at [email protected].
