SNAKES IN THE CITY · EDMONDSON PARK

Edmondson Park snake catcher help: town centre, homes and bushland

Distinguish a home address, a managed shopping precinct and a regional-park sighting when you call. Clear location and access details help SITC coordinate an available licensed catcher.

At Ed.Square or near the station

Liverpool Council’s community venue listing identifies Ed.Square Town Centre at 52 Soldiers Parade, Edmondson Park. For a sighting in that precinct, describe the actual entrance, tenancy, footpath or parking area. A street address alone may not identify a position inside a managed complex.

Tell centre staff or security about a sighting on their premises. For railway property, notify station staff and stay in public areas. Do not enter tracks, service rooms, loading areas or closed passages to follow an animal. A commercial or railway manager needs to arrange any controlled access; a passer-by cannot authorise it.

Keep other people back without blocking an emergency exit or surrounding the snake. Give the office the last confirmed position and time, and explain whether a responsible staff member is already handling the incident. Avoid multiple conflicting bookings for the same sighting.

Edmondson Regional Park is a different setting

NSW National Parks describes Edmondson Regional Park as a 48-hectare reserve with remnant Cumberland Plain Woodland and a history of military use. A park trail or reserve boundary is not the same location as the town centre.

Leave wildlife undisturbed and move away from a snake without trying to push it off a trail. Report a public-land concern to the land manager. If discussing attendance, name the entrance you used and the last recognised landmark. Do not enter a closed trail, cross a fence or assume a fire-trail gate is available to private vehicles.

A snake moving through habitat does not automatically require removal. Explain the circumstances rather than promising other visitors that someone will collect it. Land-manager instructions, access and the actual situation need to be considered.

New streets and shared residential entrances

Liverpool Council’s planning information distinguishes existing open spaces from projects being planned or delivered. Do not rely on a proposed park name, construction drawing or an old aerial image as proof that an entrance is open.

At home, give the street number, building or unit, and whether the sighting is inside or outdoors. Explain intercom access, locked courtyard gates and shared parking. Nominate one contact who can meet a catcher safely if attendance is arranged. Keep pets separated from the affected area without approaching the animal.

If the snake disappears under stored materials, into garden cover or beyond a boundary, report that change. Do not move pots, lift sheeting or search drains to relocate it. Safe last-seen information is preferable to a new close-up photograph.

Booking and safe next steps

SITC checks the location and available licensed catchers, then confirms practical arrangements and the competitive call-out fee. Arrival time and capture cannot be guaranteed. Read how Sydney dispatch works and call with the actual address rather than the nearest well-known suburb.

For a possible pet bite, contact a vet immediately and keep the animal quiet. VECA Campbelltown provides 24/7 care at 5/10 Blaxland Road and lists 02 9129 5888 for emergency enquiries. Seek receiving and transport advice without waiting for identification.

Regional records and neighbouring guides

The 2025 observation report’s grid D6 contains 23 records for the entire approximately 11 by 9 km square, not Edmondson Park alone. Inclusion does not establish an observation in the regional park or town centre. Counts are not unique snakes or SITC jobs, and the map is not a real-time tracker or a danger forecast.

Related guides cover Bardia, Denham Court, Casula and Carnes Hill. Confirm the suburb of the sighting before booking.
