Station and Bringelly Road
Busy footpaths and vehicle access call for a precise side-of-road and entrance description. Do not create a crowd around the last sighting.
Kingswood · station, hospital and residential streets
Kingswood snake catcher
If you see a snake at a home, business or shared outdoor space, step away and keep others clear. A report from a paved station-area street needs different access information from one near a garden, drainage line or open-space edge.

Describe the exact Kingswood setting
Penrith City Council identifies Bringelly Road, the station forecourt and Wainwright Park as part of the suburb’s village centre. Its 2026 long-term vision also describes a health and education corridor around Nepean Hospital. The vision is a plan for future growth, not a claim that every project is complete.
Kingswood has established homes alongside busy transport, healthcare and education settings. Tell the catcher whether the snake was last seen in a private yard, near a public path, beside a building entrance or in an area with many pedestrians. Name a safe meeting point; do not direct anyone through the animal’s last known position.
Council’s College, Orth and Werrington Creeks catchment study includes Kingswood. This is relevant landscape context, not a report of snakes in a particular street.
Suspected human snakebite: call 000
Call 000 immediately. Keep the person still; apply a firm pressure-immobilisation bandage over the bite and along the limb, and splint if possible. Do not wash or cut the bite, suck venom, use a tourniquet or try to catch the snake. Follow the operator’s directions. Healthdirect explains snakebite first aid.
Nepean Hospital is on Derby Street in Kingswood, NSW 2747. Its emergency department operates 24 hours; switchboard (02) 4734 2000. Use 000 for a suspected bite, rather than delaying help to arrange your own transport.
For everyone else: distance and a clear report
- Move people and pets away; close an internal door only if this is safe and does not trap or approach the snake.
- From a safe distance, note the last confirmed location and direction. A still photo is optional; do not move closer to get one.
- Call 0411 103 488 with the street address, access point and whether the place is a home, workplace, park edge or shared public area.
At a station, school or hospital site, alert onsite staff or security as well, while keeping bystanders back. Never attempt to handle the animal yourself.
Three different access problems in one suburb
Hospital and education precinct
State the building, gate or car-park level and advise site staff. Do not suggest the snake is at Nepean Hospital merely because it is a Kingswood landmark.
Yards and park edges
Keep children and dogs clear of garden beds, stacked materials and long grass. Council lists Wainwright Park at 19 Bringelly Road; this is context, not a confirmed snake location.
After an incident, reducing rodent attractants, storing materials neatly and maintaining clear paths can make it easier to see hazards. No landscape treatment can eliminate snakes from an open suburban environment.
Species: possibilities, not a street-by-street record
The Australian Museum’s eastern brown snake account describes use of open and modified habitats. Its red-bellied black snake account describes an association with waterways and wet places. These are regional possibilities; neither source confirms a Kingswood sighting. Do not identify a snake from colour alone or assume it is harmless.
If the snake has moved out of sight, keep the area clear and report the last place it was actually seen. Searching drains, garden beds or under materials can put people at risk.
If a pet may be bitten
Keep the animal quiet, phone a veterinary emergency service immediately and follow its transport advice. Do not delay by looking for the snake.
Nepean Animal Hospital (WellPet), 50 Mulgoa Road, Regentville NSW, (02) 4733 3456, advertises 24/7 emergency care including holidays. Call before travelling to confirm capacity and case advice.
For human emergencies, the Nepean Hospital ED is the relevant local public service; a veterinary clinic is not a substitute for 000.
Adjacent places, not a page-order list
Penrith Council’s urban study places Cambridge Park directly north of Kingswood. These service pages connect geographically:

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.
