Wingecarribee Koala Habitat Restoration
Program
The Wingecarribee Shire is home to 10% of the NSW Koala population and the Southern Highlands Koala Conservation Project has been working with the community to help protect our koalas since 2014.
Funding is available to assist eligible landholders with increasing, connecting, or restoring koala habitat on their property.
On-ground restoration activities available for funding include:
- Tree planting (including site preparation)
- Weed control/Bush regeneration
- Fencing
- Purchase of seedlings
This project provides a unique opportunity for eligible landholders to manage their property for the benefit of koalas, other wildlife, and the broader ecosystem.
Eligibility will be considered based on a range of criteria, including:
- Presence of koala habitat on your property and/or
- Linkages to existing koala habitat adjacent to your property
- Landholder’s demonstrated commitment to conservation and natural resource management
