What’s happening in the field?

In addition to field investigations, the project recently engaged with key stakeholders, community representatives and koala researchers to seek input on key aspects of koala distribution, abundance, and specific management requirements across the Border to Gowrie section. Feedback gathered will inform ARTC’s Koala Management Plan as part of the EIS which will guide the development of fit-for-purpose management measures.
