The Nationals’ Member for Northern Victoria Gaelle Broad has thanked the organisations and individuals who appeared at the Parliamentary inquiry into wildlife roadstrike in Bendigo this week.
Ms Broad said the committee appreciated the effort that people had gone to in order to present first-hand information on the issue.
“A wide range of topics were covered in the hearing,” Ms Broad said.
“These included the increasing numbers of wildlife on our roads; speed limits; driver education; major trauma incidents, motor vehicle damage and support for wildlife carers.
“This is valuable information from the Bendigo region and will help guide the inquiry and its eventual recommendations.
“We appreciate the efforts of all who took part.”
Witnesses from the Macedon Ranges Shire Council, Macedon Ranges Wildlife Network, the Wildlife Rescue and Information Network and RSPCA Victoria were among those to appear.
The inquiry is being conducted by Parliament’s Legislative Council Economy and Infrastructure Committee. It is due to table its report to Parliament by 30 November 2025.
Further information is available on the committee’s website.
