Stop vehicles and machinery in the affected bay. Name the pallet stack, drain or doorway involved and nominate a site contact with keys. Do not lift material to look underneath.

Snake Catcher Seven Hills
A report from a shared driveway needs a different access plan from one at a warehouse loading bay. Keep clear of the animal, remember its last reliable position, and call Snakes in the City on 0411 103 488. The attending catcher and any arrival estimate depend on availability.

Read the site before anyone moves equipment
Blacktown City Council maps a walk from Rowley Street along Blacktown Creek and International Peace Park; it also identifies Grantham Heritage Park on Seven Hills Road South, with remnant Cumberland Plain Woodland. Those are landscape references, not evidence of a snake at either park or at your property. In built-up streets, a fence line, drain, grass edge or stored material can matter more to an immediate response than a broad habitat label.
Make the last-seen point useful
Townhouse or shared drive
Give the unit and the correct entry gate. Ask neighbours not to cross the last-seen area; use another door to move children and pets inside without approaching the snake.
Creek-side or park boundary
Stay on a safe maintained path or your own side of the fence. Record the nearest address and direction of travel; do not enter grass or follow the animal along a channel.
Only watch from an already safe position. If the snake vanishes, say when and where; a hidden or departed animal may not be found. Read how dispatch works.
If a person may have been bitten
Call Triple Zero (000) for an ambulance now. Keep the person still and calm. If the bite is on an arm or leg, apply a firm pressure-immobilisation bandage over the bite and along the limb, then splint it; follow the ambulance operator’s instructions. Do not wash, cut or suck the bite, apply a tourniquet, or try to catch the snake. Healthdirect explains snakebite first aid.
Do not drive instead of calling 000. The ambulance service can direct care and transport. The nearest public emergency department reference for Seven Hills is Blacktown Hospital, 18 Blacktown Road, Blacktown NSW 2148, open 24/7; main switchboard (02) 9881 8000. The hospital is independent of Snakes in the City.
Regional snake context is not identification
The Australian Museum’s eastern brown snake and red-bellied black snake profiles describe species found in the wider Sydney region. The documented warehouse animal above is a specific verified case; neither species page is a list of Seven Hills sightings. Do not identify an unfamiliar snake from a brief colour glimpse or assume a park, garden or drain determines its species.
Pet emergency
Keep the pet away from the snake and phone a vet promptly if a bite is possible. SASH Western Sydney, 1 Rowood Road, Prospect NSW 2148, provides 24/7 emergency care; (02) 8609 9444. Call first about your animal and travel advice.
After the area is clear
Reduce concealed clutter beside pedestrian routes, secure pet food and address rodents. Check suitable door and service gaps without reaching into cover. These steps may reduce attractants and hiding places, but cannot guarantee a snake-free site.

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.
From the field: a red-bellied black snake in Toongabbie
Snakes in the City attended an Elfrieda Street property and found a red-bellied black snake in the back garden.

Recent Snakes in the City call-out in Seven Hills
A large red-bellied black snake was found on the hardstand of a Seven Hills warehouse yard. The warehouse contacted Snakes in the City, and an experienced catcher attended, removed the snake and arranged its humane relocation. The original call-out photograph shows the snake with its red underside visible and the catcher wearing blue protective sleeves and gloves. This documented job took place outside in the yard, rather than inside the warehouse. The full field story explains the professional response and practical precautions for workplaces where people, deliveries and vehicles share outdoor areas.
