Thank you Noosa. Koala Conservation Plan Adopted

Council would like to thank the submitters for their comments on the Koala Conservation Plan. Council has now adopted the Plan. A number of actions such as the University Koala Health Mapping Project and identification of koala threat areas have already commenced. Council, with assistance from the Noosa community and koala experts, can continue to implement the Koala Conservation Plan. Here are some ways you can help:

· Always keep domestic animals in control at all times

· When driving, be on the look-out for koalas, observe koala road signs and reduce your speed in bushland areas

· Protect koala food trees on your property and be involved with tree planting projects such as National Tree Day.

The University of the Sunshine Coast ‘Detection Dogs for Conservation’ is calling for expressions of interest from landholders who may be interested in helping with their research. If you would like ‘Maya’ or ‘Baxter’, the koala scat or ‘poo’ sniffing dogs to visit your property please Email Daniel Nugent dnugent@usc.edu.au
