Title

Potential impact of ‘Unrealised’ development on Koala habitat

Abstract

Data layers provided by the LGA and the information within are only valid at the time of production. The habitat layer provided by the LGA may vary in spatial coverage of vegetation based on the date of production and the latest imagery used to determine current vegetation presence. Potential clearing of vegetation based on landuse zoning is only indicative as variable outcomes of vegetation clearance based on the landuse zoning can occur. Koala Corridor mapping is only indicative as koalas do not traverse the landscape in a linear direction, although they will seek favoured trees. Koala occupancy mapping is only indicative as records rely on recording koalas in the landscape, records are driven by human activity. Not all areas were assessed, only areas that have the potential to be developed and therefore the potential to impact koala habitat.

This research has been funded by the NSW Koala Research Plan under the NSW Koala Strategy. The NSW Koala Research Plan sets out a targeted and coordinated way for us to increase our knowledge of koalas. It is a 10-year plan that will be regularly reviewed and updated throughout its life.
