Koala Spotter & Management

Queensland Fauna Consultancy (QFC) staff specialise as Koala spotters in detecting this iconic species through a number of means ranging from scat and indicative scratching identification, direct inspection of trees for occupant animals and identification of Koala food trees and favored Regional Ecosystems. With a well proven record regarding detection our staff can assist in vegetation removal activities requiring specific management of onsite Koalas.

With experienced personnel and efficient techniques we have successfully managed Koalas throughout the vegetation removal process on projects ranging from suburban blocks, extensive linear clearance through to broad acre 700 hectare clearing associated with mine installations.

QFC provides a legislatively compliant service when land clearance requires consideration of provisions as stated in the Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2006 and Management Program 2006-2016. These stipulations are often expressed at Federal, State and Local Government levels and are specifically targeted to ensure compliance is facilitated during all clearing activities. Our methodologies also embrace requirements as specified for individual project needs to ensure comprehensive assessment and quality koala management outcomes.
