 Petauroides volans volans     Restricted to eucalypt forests and             A small number of large arboreal
 (greater glider) – endangered woodlands with a diversity of eucalypt         hollows are present within the site
 (NC Act & EPBC Act)           species, due to seasonal variation in          which may provide breeding habitat for
                               its preferred tree species (DCCEEW,            the species.

 Phascolarctos cinereus            Inhabit a range of temperate, sub-         Whilst general habitat is present for
 (koala) – endangered (NC Act      tropical and tropical forest, woodland     koalas, no recent records of koalas
 & EPBC Act)                       and       semi-arid       communities      occur in proximity to the site. The

2.3      CONNECTIVITY
The site’s vegetation comprises both an edge and core component of a wildlife corridor which connects
vegetation along the northern and eastern foothills of Mount Cooroora. This corridor connects
discontinuous habitat via a series of vegetated rural residential allotments to the large extent of habitat
contained within the Tuchekoi National Park.
