The Brisbane City Council are using new technology and helicopters to survey and deter more than 400 feral deer around Brisbane over the next 12 months.

Virtual fencing, which emits high-pitched high pitched sonar to discourage deer from crossing roads when cars are passing by, will be installed along Gap Creek Road in Kenmore Hills.

Environment, parks and sustainability chairman Fiona Hammond says the council wants to reduce the impact of the feral population on the environment.
