A project in Ipswich, Queensland, is expanding. It will protect koalas and restore wildlife habitat.
The Chuwar Conservation Corridor is west of Brisbane. It provides important habitat for koalas and other native species. The project will make the area safer and healthier for wildlife, including koalas. It will also support local conservation work.
Activities will support a new koala rehabilitation centre. The centre will care for injured koalas before releasing them back into the wild.
It will bring together:
- local koala carers
- university researchers
- wildlife experts.
Delivered by Goodness Enterprises, the project will:
- install fencing to protect koalas in rehabilitation
- restore habitat across the conservation park
- build new nature trails and outdoor education facilities
- improve site security.
These improvements will protect and expand habitat for koalas and other native animals. They will also help visitors learn about conservation and connect with nature.
This investment will protect wildlife and restore habitat. It will also provide long-term benefits for the environment and community.
The Australian Government is providing $1.2 million for the project. The funding is through the Local Environmental Projects Program. The program supports local projects that protect Australia’s environment and help communities care for nature.
