Report a wallaby sighting

To control wallaby and stop them spreading, we need to know where they are.

This is where we need your help - your reports are critical to stopping their spread.

If you see a wallaby outside of Canterbury’s containment area, dead or alive, please report it. If you see signs of wallaby, including footprints or scat (poo), you can report those too. If possible, please take a photo to help us verify the animal and sign.

Reporting signs and sightings means we can investigate the wider area for wallabies and implement control measures if needed.

You can report wallabies online via reportwallabies.nz, or phone Biosecurity Timaru on 03 687 7800 or toll-free on 0800 324 636.
