Bankstown’s residential and commercial streets include shared driveways, rear service areas and industrial storage. A sighting in a warehouse needs the loading-bay or gate details; a shop address alone may direct a catcher to the wrong side of the building.
Ask staff or family members to stay clear rather than gathering around the animal. Leave timber, pots and stock where they are. Record which doorway, fence or storage bay it approached, and tell us if it is now out of view.
Move the group to a separate safe area and nominate an adult who can authorise access and the call-out. Keep the affected route closed until the responsible person has assessed the situation. Snake removal and emergency medical care are separate calls.
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.
Suspected snakebite: call 000 immediately. Keep the person still and follow the ambulance operator’s instructions. Do not wait for a catcher.

At a Leppington retirement village, Harley controlled access to the lobby before moving furniture and securing an eastern brown snake. The published account explains why staff left the lounge undisturbed.
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.
