Liverpool rejects proposed Indian myna trapping program

A notice of motion seeking a dedicated trapping program and $15,000 for online training was lost at Liverpool City Council’s 29 April meeting.

Published 11 May 2026Meeting 29 April 2026

Liverpool City Council has not adopted a proposed Indian myna trapping program after a notice of motion seeking the service was lost at its 29 April meeting.

The motion had asked for a dedicated council program and a $15,000 budget allocation for online training. The public minutes record that the proposal did not pass.

That means residents will not see a new council-run Indian myna trapping program arising from this meeting. The minutes do not show any alternate program or funding being approved in its place.

The item sat among a broader agenda that included budget and governance decisions, but on this issue councillors did not back the requested funding or the creation of a dedicated program.

No next implementation step was recorded for the Indian myna proposal, because the motion was lost. Any future action would need to come back to council through a new report or motion.
