Eurobodalla, NSW protects wildlife and motorists with state-first virtual fencing pilot

Eurobodalla, NSW Virtual Fencing Pilot Wildlife Motorists

Shire officials worked with the wildlife rescue group WIRES on identifying hotspots for animal crossings. Virtual fencing spans 900 meters along Cullendulla Drive and 200 meters along Blairs Road. Sensors covering each 25-meter detect the presence of approaching headlights. Audio alerts and lights activated by the network discourage wildlife movement into traffic. The one-year pilot will measure how virtual fencing impacts roadkill incidents and road safety.
