PLEASE DO NOT FEED WILDLIFE

While feeding wildlife can be enjoyable, it is bad for the animals and will do more harm than good.

Kangaroos are protected native wildlife under the Nature Conservation Act 1992.

In some circumstances, protected animals may be declared as dangerous and restrictions  on human interaction with those animals, such as feeding, may be applied.

​

Kangaroos are wild animals and should not be fed by humans, as this may cause the kangaroos to:

     a. approach humans for food, potentially endangering themselves

     b. become dependent on humans

     c. become aggressive towards humans when they are hungry

     d. succumb to nutritional deficiencies when fed human food

​

Help keep our wildlife wild by not feeding kangaroos. Council actively discourages the feeding of kangaroos, for the reasons listed above. If you are concerned about someone feeding kangaroos on Council land, please contact the Council.

​

Lately, there have been instances of kangaroos that have been fed, acting in an aggressive manner to some people walking through the area.

​

Please be aware and keep a safe distance from the kangaroos.
