What we are doing

Our goal is to protect and increase the koala population in the region. The Kempsey Shire Council Comprehensive Koala Plan of Management(PDF, 2MB) lists actions to improve koalas’ status in the area, including: 

  • protect and increase koala habitat
  • create koala management areas at South West Rocks, Eungai Rail–Stuarts Point–Grassy Head, and Dondingalong–Kundabung–Crescent Head
  • foster habitat linkages
  • increase knowledge of koalas
  • reduce threats to koalas
  • work with landowners to keep or plant more koala-friendly vegetation
  • undertake koala sighting counts

Council works on several projects to address these actions.
