What is a crocodile of concern?
Any estuarine crocodile in the wild that: • is found south of the Boyne River (near Gladstone); or • has attacked, or is about to attack, or is behaving aggressively towards a person; or • is determined by DERM to pose a threat or a potential threat to human safety or wellbeing; or • has passed a crocodile prevention barrier and has attacked, or is about to attack, or is behaving aggressively towards, stock, working dogs or aquaculture fisheries resources; or • is two metres or greater in length located in defined urban management areas unless it was just moving through the area or was within well known crocodile habitat within the area. Maps of these Crocodile Urban Management Areas are available for Cairns, Townsville, Mackay, Rockhampton and Gladstone.
