Snake Catcher Sydney CBD

A Sydney CBD sighting requires discreet crowd and access control. Contact security, stop people entering the area and provide Harley with loading-dock or service-lift instructions.

When calling from Sydney CBD, explain whether the animal is indoors or outside, whether it remains visible, and whether children, pets, customers, livestock or workers are nearby. Harley can then assess the immediate risk and the safest access.

Sydney CBD properties may include hotels, office towers, loading docks, car parks, public spaces and service corridors. These features change access and visibility, so the last known position is more useful than an uncertain species description.

Hotels, offices and public-facing sites should move visitors away, notify site management and keep one clear route for Harley.

• hotels: Do not place hands, tools or cameras into gaps around hotels; report only what you can see safely.
• office towers: If the snake travels toward office towers, note which side it entered and leave the area undisturbed.
• loading docks: Use loading docks as a landmark when explaining the last known position; do not move closer to inspect it.
• car parks: Tell Harley whether car parks is open, enclosed, elevated or difficult to access from the street.
• public spaces: Keep people and pets away from public spaces until the sighting has been assessed.
• service corridors: Identify the safest gate, path or building entrance leading toward service corridors without approaching the animal.

A sighting does not establish that there is a nest or more than one snake. Avoid assumptions about species, numbers or where the animal has gone; preserve the last reliable observation instead.

• Create several metres of distance without sudden movement or noise.
• Move bystanders away from the Sydney CBD sighting without creating a crowd.
• Keep visual contact only while you can remain on stable, open ground.
• Do not use garden tools, brooms or containers in an attempted capture.
• If someone may have been bitten, call Triple Zero (000) immediately and follow the operator’s instructions.

Harley Jones brings more than a decade of reptile-handling experience to Sydney CBD call-outs and operates under NSW General Licence MWL000102655.

Appropriate containment and a controlled route through the Sydney CBD property help protect residents, workers and the reptile.

If the snake has left hotels or cannot be located, capture cannot be guaranteed. Harley will explain what was checked and what should happen next. Read about Harley’s training and experience or review the Greater Sydney snake-removal process.
