A Horsley Park call may be to a house, a market garden or a large work yard. Give the street number and the gate that reaches the sighting, especially when several entrances serve the same property.

Acreage beside a changing industrial landscape
Fairfield Council describes Horsley Park as a semi-rural part of the city. Large blocks, farming land and employment areas mean the animal may be well away from the home or reception building. Identify the shed, paddock or loading area without crossing the snake’s path.
Before machinery or deliveries enter
Pause activity in the affected area. Tell the catcher about operating machinery, livestock, dogs and any gates that must stay closed. A safe meeting point at the entrance is more useful than sending someone into long grass to keep looking.
If it disappears near a dam or shed
Do not lift sheeting, enter stored pipework or walk around the water’s edge to flush it out. Note the last side or corner where it was visible. Ask what a call-out can achieve if the snake is concealed, and confirm the fee before attendance.
Keep the area undisturbed
Keep people and pets away. Do not approach, trap or disturb the snake, and do not search concealed spaces if it disappears. Watch only from a safe position; a photograph is useful only if you can take it without moving closer. Read the full snake safety guide.
Local hospitals and veterinary help
Medical emergency
Suspected snakebite: call 000 immediately. Keep the person still and follow the ambulance operator’s instructions. Do not wait for a catcher.
We confirm catcher availability, the call-out fee and a current arrival estimate when arranging attendance. Existing jobs, traffic and access affect timing. Capture cannot be guaranteed if the snake cannot be found.

Looking for broader wildlife context? The mapped place point for Horsley Park falls in square D5 of our 2025 Sydney-region observation report. A suburb can extend into neighbouring squares; this is an orientation guide, not a suburb boundary map.
Counts apply to the whole square, not each suburb listed. A suburb appearing in a square does not mean a snake was recorded in that suburb. These are public observation records, not SITC call-outs, unique snake totals or a measure of danger.
