The petition of citizens of Queensland draws to the attention of the House that the koala has recently been classified as a vulnerable species and that in the Redland Shire there is an extremely high kill rate of koalas as a result of motor vehicle impacts.
Your petitioners therefore request the House to urgently provide wildlife warning signs advising motorists to “reduce speeds at night” and reflective markers on Redland Bay Road between Windemere Road and Boundary Road, and on Mt Cotton Road from Ney Road to the intersection of Lyndon Road, and on Duncan Road through to the intersection with Redland Bay Road, with a view to alerting motorists to the risk of encountering native wildlife on roads at night.
