Cessnock City Council, in partnership with the NSW Koala Strategy, is embarking on an important Koala Habitat Study to better understand and protect local koala populations. This comprehensive study is a crucial step in conserving our iconic, yet endangered, koalas and ensuring their future in Cessnock.
What is the Koala Habitat Study?
This study will map koala habitats, conduct targeted koala surveys across the region, and gather vital data to help guide future conservation efforts in the Mulbring and Ellalong areas and the western slops of the Watagan Mountains. Click here to see a map of the areas that we are targeting for the study.
With advancements in technology and koala surveying methods, this study will fill the knowledge gap on our local koala population. Through this project, we aim to identify key areas where koalas live, which will help inform land management and conservation practices.
How Can You Get Involved?
Cessnock City Council is calling on the community to get involved in this important initiative and is looking for expressions of interest from landholders in the Quorrobolong, Mulbring and Mount Vincent areas who are keen to learn more and/or participate in the study by having teams conduct surveys on their property. Residents with a property that backs on to the Watagan/Sugarloaf Range who are keen to participate in the study are also welcome to complete the survey form below.
If you’re a local landholder, you can voluntarily participate by allowing access to your property for surveying purposes. Your participation will help provide valuable data for the study and contribute to the long-term conservation of koalas in our region. Click here to register your interest!
We look forward to working with the community to find out more about Koalas that live in the Cessnock LGA!
