    5. Wildlife corridor linkages
    The site is predominantly vegetated and has adjoining properties with significant
    vegetation being both freehold and crown lands. The site is part then of a wildlife corridor
    network and provides a significant area of habitat to facilitate genetic diversity.
    The road is a management issue for fauna as this intersects the corridor to the lake and
    adjoining crown lands to the south of the property. The site at present is a section of a
    large viable remnant that provides habitat and linkages between other remnants. The
    property forms part of a wildlife corridor that links crown lands to the National Park. This
    linkage provides access to Lake Cootharaba and to the Cooloola National Park. The
    continued viability of this site will be dependent on future management of adjoining lands
    and the implementation of vegetation controls on private lands. This vegetation
    community is a known food source for the grey headed and common blossom bats, with
    the Eucalyptus tereticornis being food source for both the Koala and Yellow-bellied
    Glider.
