Make South Australia’s beaches safe for everyone

Our beautiful South Australian beaches are under accelerating and unsustainable pressure from uncontrolled beach driving.  Problems include:

  • Pristine beaches turned into rutted race tracks

  • Hoon driving destabilising dunes

  • Waste and rubbish - including human waste

  • Beach nesting birds having their eggs crushed and their chicks killed 

  • Roosting shorebirds being run over and disturbed

  • Critical feeding grounds destroyed

  • Sacred and culturally significant Indigenous sites damaged 

We need urgent and strong State action and leadership, including legislation, to ensure a better, safer and more sustainable future for South Australian beaches.

How you can help:

BirdLife Australia and Birds SA are calling on South Australians to stand up for safe beaches for everyone. Sign our petition calling on the Malinauskas Government to better regulate beach driving in South Australia.
