Millions of dollars will be spent on new fencing on Fraser Island in a bid to reduce interactions between the native dingo population and visitors to the island.
Environment Minister Meaghan Scanlon said while families heading to the island had remained vigilant while travelling near dingo habitat, there had been a number of incidents where people had been injured.
"Fencing will protect visitors, Orchid Beach locals and K'gari's native dingo population, who our rangers believe no longer show apprehension when approaching humans because they've either been deliberately fed or eaten food scraps," she said.
