Snake Catcher Arndell Park
A visible snake at a warehouse or yard is an access-control problem before it is a species question. Keep workers, drivers and visitors out of the immediate zone, stop movements there, and call Snakes in the City with the exact gate and last-seen point.

The site boundary matters before the species
Arndell Park is a working industrial area, not one continuous bushland block. A planning statement displayed by Blacktown City Council for 19 Holbeche Road describes warehouse-style development in the industrial estate and a Bungarribee Creek riparian edge at that site. This is evidence for varied land use and an interface at that address—not evidence of a snake at your premises. The council’s Bungarribee Park information also places public open space near Doonside Road, but it is not a sighting record.
At a business site, a loading dock, landscaped setback, drain and stacked materials all demand different access details. Give a supervisor’s mobile number, street address, lot or unit, gate, dock, after-hours entry instructions and any machinery or exclusion zones. This avoids sending a catcher to the wrong side of a large lot.
A safe shift handover for the last-seen point
Person who saw it
Move back and note the time, direction of travel and an unmistakable reference such as dock 4 or a marked bay. Observe only from a safe distance; do not lean under pallets, open a compartment or search vegetation.
Site controller
Keep foot traffic, forklifts and deliveries clear of the immediate area. Nominate one contact to brief the catcher and explain induction, PPE and safe escort requirements. The supervisor decides how work can continue elsewhere.
Next shift or contractor
Pass on the last reliable position and the exclusion boundary, not an unverified claim that the snake has gone. Do not flush drains, move stored goods or start equipment in the affected spot to “find” it.
If the animal disappears, describe where it was last seen. Search or capture cannot be guaranteed. After a resolved incident, review storage, waste, rodents and vegetation around frequently used paths; these measures may reduce cover but do not ensure a snake-free site.
Regional snake context is not a workplace identification
The Australian Museum describes eastern brown snakes using modified open habitat and man-made cover. Its red-bellied black snake guide describes moist habitat and drainage corridors. Both are regional possibilities, not confirmed Arndell Park records, and neither a landscape description nor body colour safely identifies a snake. Keep away from any unidentified snake.
If a person may have been bitten, stop the job
Call 000 and ask for an ambulance immediately, even if symptoms are absent. Keep the person still. healthdirect’s snakebite guidance recommends a firm pressure-immobilisation bandage over the bite and along the bitten limb, splinting the limb, and noting the time. Do not wash, cut or suck the bite, apply a tourniquet, or pursue the snake. Follow the dispatcher’s directions; do not delay care while waiting for a catcher.
Blacktown Hospital Emergency Department is a nearby 24-hour public emergency department at 18 Blacktown Road, Blacktown NSW 2148; main switchboard (02) 9881 8000. For a suspected bite, call 000 first rather than choosing your own transport or destination.
If a pet may have been bitten
Keep the animal quiet, away from the snake, and seek urgent veterinary advice. SASH Western Sydney at 1 Rowood Road, Prospect NSW 2148 lists 24-hour emergency veterinary care, seven days a week, on (02) 8609 9444. Call first for current capacity and safe transport instructions; the clinic will assess the individual animal. Do not delay veterinary care for a photo of the snake.
The human hospital and veterinary hospital are separate services. Neither is a substitute for keeping the work area isolated.
Experience from a real warehouse response
In our Carnarvon Street, Silverwater warehouse field report, the business called SITC after a red-bellied black snake was found inside. A catcher removed the animal and humanely relocated it. That report concerns Silverwater, not an Arndell Park call-out.
For an Arndell Park warehouse, pass the last-seen location and any change of shift to one responsible site contact. Confirm the correct tenancy, gate and induction arrangements before attendance. Our business and strata snake-removal service explains how to arrange access while keeping workers and visitors away from the affected area.
Booking details and connected places
Tell us the exact address and access gate, last known position, whether the animal is indoors, outside or near a drain, and who controls the site. Advise us of plant, security and induction restrictions. A call-out fee applies; we explain scope before booking. Availability, visibility and access affect timing, so we do not promise capture or a fixed response time.

Looking for broader wildlife context? The mapped place point for Arndell Park falls in square D4 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.
