Tips to support local wildlife

Don’t leave lights on all-night. Instead, have lights on only for a few hours after dark. If possible, use a timer.
Avoid having lights on during dusk or dawn as this is when animals such as birds are most active.
Use warm coloured and low intensity lights instead of bright white or blue lights, as these are less harmful to wildlife.
Avoid lighting up trees and shrubs where nocturnal animals may reside. Keep these areas as dark as possible.
When using spotlights, keep them angled downward and focused only where you need them. Ensure lights aren't pointed into the sky or at nearby trees, shrubs or bushland.
