Snake Catcher Bidwill
A Bidwill park landmark helps with orientation, but the catcher also needs the exact property or public-space entrance. Stay clear of the snake and call 0411 103 488 with the address and last sighting. Tell Snakes in the City who can authorise access to a shared property.

Separate the park landmark from the property address
Bidwill Reserve is listed at Kidd Close and has courts and parkour equipment. Keep activity away from a reported animal and nominate one adult caller. A nearby home still needs its own address and safe gate instructions.
Blacktown City Council places Gomebeeree Park on Manifold Road in Bidwill. A named reserve is a useful orientation point, but a sighting near a park entrance is different from a snake inside a fenced yard on a nearby street. Tell us which of those situations applies.
In a residential setting, bins, outdoor storage, sheds and garden edges can make the last reliable position hard to describe. Use a fixed object you can see from protection. Do not lift a bin, pull apart stored material or put a camera into a gap to get an identification.
Local reference: Council’s Bidwill locality information.
People using the same path
At units, shops or community premises, stop use of the affected walkway and provide another route if one is safely available. One contact person should coordinate with the catcher.
An animal disappears into storage
Leave the objects as they are. Note the last opening used and keep visitors, tradespeople and pets out of that section. A disturbance can make the animal harder to locate safely.
A clear route through a shared property
- Withdraw without cutting off the snake’s escape route.
- Keep children indoors and dogs away from fences and garden cover.
- Watch from a closed window or another secure place only if safe.
- Call with the Bidwill street address, last-seen time and safest access; report any suspected bite immediately.
Snakes in the City assists with licensed removal enquiries for Bidwill homes, garages, strata spaces, schools and businesses. We ask about access, the animal’s visibility and who is on site before coordinating attendance. Confirm availability and the call-out charge by phone. Capture depends on the circumstances and cannot be guaranteed for a snake that has left.
Suspected human snakebite: call 000 for an ambulance. Keep the person and bitten limb still, apply pressure immobilisation to a bitten limb and follow the ambulance operator. Do not wash or cut the bite or use a tourniquet. Do not wait for snake removal. See NSW Health’s first-aid instructions.
Blacktown Hospital, Blacktown Road, provides 24-hour emergency care. For suspected snakebite call 000 and remain still; ambulance staff determine transport and the appropriate hospital.
For possible pet exposure, keep the animal still and phone a vet urgently. SASH Western Sydney lists 24/7 emergency care at 1 Rowood Road, Prospect: 02 8609 9444. Call about your pet and route; this does not promise a particular antivenom stock.

What to tell the catcher about a Bidwill address
Harley Jones and the Snakes in the City team provide licensed capture and humane relocation. When you call about Bidwill, explain whether the animal is inside a building, beside a boundary or in a public space. The Sydney snake removal service guide explains the broader service.

Bidwill snake removal questions
Can I use Gomebeeree Park as the address?
Only when the sighting is actually in that public place. Give its Manifold Road access and a precise landmark. For private premises, provide the full property address instead.
Will the catcher need access through a neighbour’s yard?
Explain what you observed and any access restrictions when calling. Do not enter another property or organise a search yourself; permission and a safe approach must be established.
Are all snakes seen in Bidwill dangerous?
Appearance or colour alone cannot establish species or risk. Treat an unidentified snake cautiously, keep clear and leave handling to a licensed professional.
