Description

The distribution and abundance of hollow-bearing trees has been negatively impacted by urbanisation, highlighting the need to provide habitat supplementation for hollow dependent species, including a range of bird species.

Installation of 20 log hollows for Pardalotes has occurred across Burke Rd Billabong and South Surrey Park. Three hollows for King Parrots have been installed across Clifford Close Reserve and Greythorn Park. Two hollows for Yellow Tailed Black Cockatoos have been installed at Nettleton Park.

Monthly hollow checks of the six Krefft's Gliders hollows installed at Willsmere Billabong are continuing, with these checks open for community members to book into and attend.
