Bribie Island residents are urgently calling for a raft of measures in a bid to protect native animals from becoming roadkill as tourism and development grows. 

Resident Ken Salisbury has launched an online petition which is pushing for the council to take measures to protect the native flora and fauna on the island. 

Mr Salisbury says the wildlife is an integral feature of the island and is what influences many people to move to the island or travel for day trips

The petition is calling for slower speed limits between dusk and dawn, speed-activated signs with warnings about wildlife and is aiming to get fencing around areas of the national park to reduce road kill.
