The Koala Koalition, EcoNetwork Port Stephens (KKEPS) welcomes the opportunity to comment on the Inquiry’s work on speed limits and road safety in regional New South Wales. With a variety of major and minor roads intersecting (and fragmenting) koala habitat leading to ongoing koala vehicle strikes, KKEPS urges the Inquiry to consider how a change in driver behaviour and a reduction in speed might benefit remaining koala populations, and consider which road infrastructure options safely enable rather than limit habitat connectivity in already fragmented habitats.
