 Bushland Reserve Biodiversity Profile:
 Pinaroo Park

 This small 6.2 hectare reserve at Noosa Junction preserves a coastal waterbody that provides habitat for
 a number of frog species. Black She Oaks (Allocasuarina littoralis) within Pinaroo Park are preferred
 feed trees for the vulnerable Glossy Black-Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus lathami) which are regularly seen
 there. Pinaroo Park also contains habitat for Koala’s (Phascolarctos cinereus) and Grey-headed Flying
 Foxes (Pteropus poliocephalus). Pinaroo Park is a mixture of recreational mown areas and bushland,
 and is highly valued by the local community.
