Pest animal legal requirements
Introduced animals, including dingos and dingo hybrids, are known as declared animals under the Landscape South Australia Act 2019.
See the List of declared animals in SA (), including requirements for managing different species.
Alert pests are introduced animals that pose a serious threat, but have minimal impact because they:
- have not yet arrived in South Australia
- may only be here in low numbers
- are held in captivity.
Restrictions for declared animals
There are restrictions on keeping declared animals, as well as moving, selling or releasing them.
Landholders also have a legal responsibility to control pest animals on their properties – find out about using poison baits in SA.
