The Redland’s City Council says speeding drivers are leading to increased levels of koala deaths in the area.
The RSPCA last week responded to two incidents involving koalas being struck by cars in Cleveland, and say it’s clear that they were struck at speed.
Councillor Paul Golle says there have been endless campaigns and the installation of flashing signs, reminding drivers to obey speed limits, but clearly they are failing to protect the region’s most iconic native animals.
