Snake Catcher Plumpton
If a snake is visible near a house, workplace or shared path, step back and keep other people and pets away. Call Snakes in the City on 0411 103 488 with the last reliable location. A phone conversation can establish safe access; it cannot promise a particular arrival time or that a vanished animal will be found.

Plumpton Park is a useful landmark, not a sighting map
Blacktown City Council places Plumpton Park on Hyatts Road and lists its walking path and recreation facilities. Its walking guide describes bushland and wetlands around the park. Those are real local features; they do not establish a snake sighting at the park or on any nearby street.
On a residential block, a fence line, garden storage or a drain can obscure the animal quickly. On a shared path, the useful report is the nearest fixed entrance or junction, not an attempt to follow it into vegetation. Keep a clear route for other people to move away.
Choose the instruction that fits the place
At home: close a door between people and the last-seen area only if you can do so without moving toward the snake. Note the safe gate, garage or shed access from outside.
At a workplace or community facility: identify the person who can authorise entry and keep visitors clear of that entrance. Do not direct staff to lift stored materials.
At a park edge: give a path junction or street entrance and retreat. Never search reeds, grass or stormwater infrastructure for a better photograph.
If the snake disappears, treat its last-known space as occupied. Do not dismantle a woodpile, open a drain cover or reach behind equipment. Tell the catcher when visibility was lost; a search or capture cannot be guaranteed.
Possible human snakebite: call 000 first
Call 000 for an ambulance. Keep the person still. Apply a pressure-immobilisation bandage and splint to an affected limb if available, following emergency instructions; do not wash, cut or suck the bite or apply a tourniquet. Do not attempt to catch the snake. Healthdirect explains the first-aid steps. A catcher is not a substitute for urgent medical care.
Emergency destinations for people and pets
Person: Mount Druitt Hospital emergency department
NSW Health lists its ED as open 24 hours, every day at 75 Railway Street, Mount Druitt NSW 2770; phone (02) 9881 1555. For a suspected bite, call 000 and follow ambulance advice rather than choosing your own transport.
Pet: SASH Western Sydney
SASH lists 24/7 emergency veterinary care at 1 Rowood Road, Prospect NSW 2148; phone (02) 8609 9444. Keep the animal quiet and away from the snake. Call first for current advice and capacity; no service can be assumed to accept every case.
Habitat is a clue, not an identification
The Australian Museum describes eastern brown snakes in open and modified habitats and red-bellied black snakes as often associated with wet areas. These are regional possibilities, not Plumpton records. Colour or a brief view cannot safely identify an individual snake. Keep distance whatever it looks like.
After the immediate scene is clear, reducing rodent attractants, keeping regularly used paths visible and storing materials neatly can reduce cover. None of those steps guarantees a snake-free property.
