LOGAN City Council's plan to control the feral deer population at the Cedar Grove wastewater treatment plant site has been delayed.
Cedar Grove residents received letters from the council informing them of intermittent deer culling from July 1 between 5pm and 9pm.
This comes after the council became aware of an increasing population of feral deer on the sewage plant construction site.
The council has also planned to install a motion detection camera overlooking the Cedar Grove wetlands.
Feral deer are listed as a restricted invasive species under the state government's Biosecurity Act 2014.
Under the Act, feral deer can't be moved, fed, given away or sold.
A council spokesperson said a new feral deer culling timeline had not been set.
"The proposed management of feral deer at Cedar Grove did not begin on July 1 as some residents were advised," the spokesperson said.
"While the number of feral deer in Logan is not considered high, failure to meet the responsibilities of the Act now would risk increased impacts on the environment in the future should feral deer numbers grow.
"The damage caused by feral deer in Logan includes the destruction of native vegetation and agriculture, spreading of weed seeds and damage to trees from antler rubbing."
