Action Confirmed | Northern Beaches Council 1080 Ban

Your Email Has Been Sent

Thank you for standing up for Northern Beaches animals

Your email has been sent to all Northern Beaches councillors. You've just joined hundreds of community members demanding permanent protection from 1080 poison at the 12 sites where the Northern Beaches Council has previously used 1080 poison.

Your Voice Makes a Difference

Added your voice to a growing movement for animal protection in the Northern Beaches

Created political pressure that councillors cannot ignore when they vote on Tuesday night

Demonstrated community support for evidence-based wildlife protection policies

Contributed to regulatory reform that extends beyond one council to set precedents across NSW

Community advocacy already influenced the Northern Beaches Council to stop using 1080 in May 2023 - ending operations at Manly Dam, Dee Why Lagoon Wildlife Reserve, Middle Creek Reserve, Allenby Park, and 8 other sites. Now we're working to make that protection permanent.

You're Part of Something Bigger

Banning 1080 at Northern Beaches Council is one battle in a larger campaign to end cruel, indiscriminate poisoning across Australia. Every council that bans 1080 poison creates precedent. Every map entry documents the scale of the problem.

Thank you for being part of this fight to protect the animals who call Northern Beaches home - and all the communities across Australia facing the same threat.
