It is hoped a multi-million-dollar extension to a predator-proof fence will help regional New South Wales recover from the trifecta of drought, bushfires and COVID-19.
Key points:
The NSW Government has opened a $17 million tender to extend the NSW Border Wild Dog Fence by 742 kilometres
When finished, the $37.5 million fence will total 1,325km, making it one of the longest of its kind
Wild dog attacks are estimated to cost the livestock sector millions of dollars a year in NSW alone
