LOCAL RESPONSE NOTES
Local help without the panic
Coastal vegetation, lagoons, sandstone, sloping blocks and bushland boundaries create varied property layouts from compact apartments to larger semi-rural holdings.
The pages distinguish dense coastal centres, lagoon-side yards, bush-facing family homes and the larger properties around Terrey Hills and Belrose.
When you call, the first questions are simple: where is the snake now, is anyone close to it, and can you keep watch from a safe position? That information is more useful than trying to guess the species.

Share parking restrictions, steep-driveway details and the safest entrance. Leave pool equipment, surf storage and garden materials undisturbed after a sighting.
Do not lift, prod or move anything around the snake. If it disappears, leave the area as undisturbed as possible and explain exactly where it was last seen.
Homes, businesses and worksites
Calls may involve buildings, gardens, pool areas, garages, sheds and managed or commercial property. Worksites should stop activity in the immediate area and nominate one person to meet the catcher.
