Every Australian can play a role by reporting feral deer sightings or signs, like tracks and damage,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These reports are crucial \u2013 they help drive co-ordinated efforts to control new deer populations before they spiral out of control. By acting now, we can stop their spread and save Australia millions of dollars each year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A report investigating the annual cost of feral deer in Australia, released by the centre in 2023, placed that annual cost at $91 million.<\/p>\n<p>Of that figure, $3.3 million was attributed to road collisions involving deer.<\/p>\n<p>Data on vehicle collisions caused by deer is limited, but a species control plan developed by Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA) suggests incidents have been increasing, particularly in areas in Anglesea and along the Forrest-Apollo Bay Road where habitat favoured by deer lies next to major arterial roads.<\/p>\n<p>A DEECA spokesperson said the state government was rolling out an $18.25 million investment through the Victorian Deer Control Program to reduce the feral species&#8217; impact on native habitat, biodiversity and agriculture.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We worked with local communities and experts to develop this strategy, which not only protects our environment from the impacts of feral deer, but also increases public safety.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the management of deer in Victoria, head to <a href=\"http:\/\/parks.vic.gov.au\/get-into-nature\/conservation-and-science\/conserving-our-parks\/feral-animals\/deer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">parks.vic.gov.au\/get-into-nature\/conservation-and-science\/conserving-our-parks\/feral-animals\/deer<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VISITORS to the Otway Ranges are encouraged to report sightings of feral deer in and around the national park, as the species&#8217; autumn breeding season begins.
