Far north Qld croc squad to be unveiled A CROCODILE squad tasked with removing dangerous reptiles from popular waterways in far north Queensland is expected to be announced on Tuesday. Environment Minister Andrew Powell is set name 12 locals who will help keep crocs out of designated areas north of Townsville, including Cape York. Included on the panel are croc farm owners Angela Freeman and Keith Cook, a Surf Life Saving representative, Cook Shire Mayor Peter Scott and a number of local MPs, the government says. The plan is the result of calls from several local councils for the state government to make popular waterways safer. Separate crocodile management plans have also been developed for the Hinchinbrook, Cassowary Coast and Townsville local government areas.
