The Nature Refuges Program
Do you want recognition for your sustainable land management practices, now and into the future?
Landholders play an integral role in protecting the state's biodiversity by establishing nature refuges on their property. A nature refuge is an area of land voluntarily dedicated and protected for conservation purposes while allowing compatible and sustainable land uses to continue. More>>
Koala Nature Refuges Program
Are you are interested in restoring koala habitat on your land and protecting it for future generations?
If you are interested in restoring koala habitat on your land and protecting it for future generations, the Koala Nature Refuges Program may be for you. You can apply for financial assistance to rehabilitate and manage your land for koalas if your property is identified by the Koala Response Strategy as being of high- to medium-priority for rehabilitation of koala habitat. If you are successful in receiving funding, you will need to be prepared to enter into a binding, perpetual nature refuge over at least two hectares of your property to protect koalas and their habitat into the future.
