Animals Killed on KB Roads

Animals Killed on Koala Beach Roads

Each year millions of animals are killed, orphaned or injured on Australias roads, and sadly many die a slow and painful death. Entire local populations have been known to become extinct due to collisions with cars. These collisions can also result in human injury or death and costly property damage. We have the ability to strongly reduce the occurrence of animals being killed by collisions with cars.

Please remember - The best way to reduce road kill is for people to take responsibility for their own driving habits.

Take Action!

Be alert
Look for wildlife. Slow down if you see them on the road verge.

Slow down at night
Native animals are active between dusk and dawn.

Honk your horn
To scare animals off the road.

Don’t litter
This may attract animals to the road.

Move animals off the road
Slow moving animals, like lizard and echidnas, can be moved off the road.

Move dead animals off the road
This will discourage other animals from venturing onto the road.

Check animals on the road
Marsupials such as kangaroos, koalas, possums and wombats may have a joey in the pouch. If you find a young animal with its dead mother, call Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers: 24 hour wildlife hotline: (02) 6672 4789
