North Burnett Regional Council is aware that there have been instances of wandering livestock on local roads, during recent days.
Council strenuously recommends that all motorists take extreme care and caution on the roads. Council’s CEO Margot Stork stated that “Motorists should always drive to conditions, and be alert to livestock or native wildlife. The safety of all road users is of utmost importance”.
Unfortunately North Burnett Regional Council will not be attending wandering livestock call outs outside normal business hours, due to resourcing, until the end of June 2022.
Council also reminds people with cattle and horses to regularly check their fencing and that all stock are suitably contained.
