Rabbit proof fences still comprise a substantial proportion of the fencing in areas where rabbits have been a major problem. The labour costs of rabbit control and the risk of property being over run in a rabbit plague are now much lower and most properties still maintain the policy of using rabbit proof fencing.

Widely used throughout Australia to protect agricultural land and threatened vegetation communities from feral rabbits. Wire netting provides an effective barrier

Wire netting with a 30 mm mesh size has been found to be necessary to exclude independent juvenile rabbits (Moseby and Read in prep). Captive trials show that rabbits are capable of crossing a 900 mm high fence but this is unlikely to occur frequently (McKillop et al . 1988). Extending the height or adding a small overhang may be warranted if an added level of protection is required.
