Love Your Local Wombat

We are hearing more about wombats wandering near homes in and around Bermagui. It may be that the recent fires and then heavy rains have destroyed habitat and then flooded burrows and more wombats may be looking for safe places to graze and dry places to spend their days or dig their homes.

Below is a photo of the wombat who grazes around the Blue Pool area (nicknamed “Bluey”), probably taken on the grassed area near the big water tank. It was taken on 27 November 2021, by Liz Milner, a visitor to Bermagui, showing Bluey recovering from a moderate infestation of mange after treatment.

The wombat had been treated 3 times (between 29 October and 17 November 2021) for mange by one of our Wildlife Rescue South Coast members who lives in Bermagui. She used a long pole and applicator to quietly approach and treat him with a pour-on medication used to treat mange mites in cattle and deer. This medication can only be used on wild wombats after training and under a permit issued by the Wombat Protection Society of Australia.

Wildlife Rescue South Coast receive calls from people who are concerned about wombats around or under their buildings. They would like to provide you with useful information, advice and support about humane ways to dissuade them. The best results will come from early action, so please call them as soon as you start to worry about wombats around your buildings and fences, and especially if you notice sick or injured wombats.

Call the Wildlife Rescue South Coast Hotline on 0417 238 921 and give the phone volunteer your contact details and a brief summary of your situation. A trained wombat carer will give you a call back and discuss the options with you. Where possible, they will visit and assess your situation and provide ongoing advice and support.

It’s important to understand that moving adult, wild wombats can be very difficult and often unsafe for all concerned, and is not recommended. Also, wombats are a protected native animal. The Wombat Protection Society of Australia has some helpful information on their website including “Managing Wombats Under Houses”: https://www.wombatprotection.org.au/<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ffacebook.us15.list-manage.com%2Ftrack%2Fclick%3Fu%3D9030b531e962ad02c68a923c8%26id%3D10d195c55a%26e%3D6e6a08d3a7&data=04%7C01%7C%7C0c405175512c4a15dd0108da12c8b474%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637842950502264977%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=uD%2B7Oexg%2BjUTzIX%2FBl2yOwHmiwPauFnVFmh8ZH06FQE%3D&reserved=0>

Bermagui Harbour Dredging Information Sessions

As previously advised, Transport for NSW provided two information sessions late last week on the forthcoming dredging of Bermagui Harbour. Refer map below showing work areas.

[https://mcusercontent.com/9030b531e962ad02c68a923c8/images/bb734527-abef-6895-080e-cf9f50580ce8.jpg]The main points noted from the information session were:

  *   only area 1 in the entrance channel is complete.
  *   sand from areas 2 and 6 will be screened for material down to 10 to 20mm and pumped to 50 metres offshore from Moorhead Beach.
  *   0.5 metre of sediment from harbour floor, areas 3, 4 and 5, will be filtered down to 75 microns and pumped to the existing stockpile.
  *   it is planned that a new tender for this dredging work will be in place in 6 weeks.
  *   approximately 12,000m3 of sand is now in the stockpile, 6,000m3 remains on Horseshoe Bay Beach and a further 18,000m3 is expected to go to the stockpile.
  *   the dredging operations will be closely monitored by Transport for NSW.

Community members are encouraged to email Transport for NSW with any comments on the proposed dredging and quality of the remaining sand on Horseshoe Bay Beach to BermaguiDredging at transport.nsw.gov.au<mailto:BermaguiDredging at transport.nsw.gov.au> by Monday 4 April.

It was disappointing that only one community member was able to attend each of the Transport for NSW information sessions.
