Dead animals

Dead animals are usually handled by either VicRoads or Council. However, some dead animals such as cattle, sheep and horses, can be a life-threatening danger to motorists and must be reported immediately to police.

Call the police on triple zero (000) if you see a dead animal in a location that might be a danger to other people. Otherwise you can report dead animals to Council using the Contact Us form.
