214 NSW 1080 baiting records listed across 201 sites in September
Coalition's monthly review identifies 40 newly listed sites and calls for a single, searchable public disclosure system for 1080 baiting information.
SYDNEY, 1 September 2026 — The Coalition Against 1080 Poison's September review of publicly available NSW baiting notices has identified 214 1080 baiting records across 201 sites — 15 more records than in August and including 40 sites not listed in the previous monthly snapshot.
The records are drawn primarily from NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service public alerts, with private-land and other operator notices included where publicly available. That information is distributed across individual alerts and notices rather than provided through one consolidated NSW disclosure interface.
The Coalition's NSW 1080 Baiting Map consolidates those notices into a searchable monthly record. Users can search or browse listed sites, inspect individual operation details, identify responsible contacts and trace each entry back to its public source.
The September figures describe records publicly listed in the Coalition's source set for the month. They are not presented as 214 newly commenced or simultaneously active operations, and the dataset is not a comprehensive census of every use of 1080 in New South Wales.
What changed in September:
more records, more listed sites.
Records categorised from the disclosed baiting method as aerial.
Ground baiting and CPE records grouped into the map's Ground/CPE category.
Records where the disclosed method does not fall into aerial or Ground/CPE.
Source basis: Coalition Against 1080 Poison September 2026 NSW public-alert snapshot. Figures describe records in the Coalition's publicly sourced dataset and should not be read as a complete statewide count of all 1080 use.
The Coalition preserves dated monthly snapshots because public listings change over time. Forty sites appear in September that were not present in the August snapshot, while 13 August sites are no longer listed in September. Eight September sites contain more than one operation record, which the map groups by site while retaining the separate operation details.
Keeping the original source attached to each record allows the public and journalists to verify what the responsible authority or operator disclosed, while the monthly archive provides a record of how that public information changes.
The map forms part of the Coalition's broader 1080 transparency work, which is documenting what governments and operators disclose and advocating for consistent public information about where baiting is listed to occur, when it is listed to occur, how it is carried out and who is responsible.
