Reducing risks to native animals

A number of measures to reduce impacts on animals during the upgrade of the Pacific Highway and once the upgrades are complete.

To protect native animals crossing points and exclusion fencing is installed at important animal movement corridors that have been identified in studies. This helps reduce the risk of animals crossing over the highway.

During construction native animals are rescued and relocated.
