Achievements to date

1.	Extensive planting of koala food trees and other natives at the back of the baseball pitch at the Les Hughes Sporting Complex in Bray Park in 2004.
2.	With monies obtained via a Pine Rivers Shire Council Community Assistance Grant obtained in 2005/2006 our members began planting koala food trees and other natives on a partially cleared area of unused parkland at Bult Drive in Brendale. Exotic weed and tree species were removed to encourage natural regeneration. The Brendale Koala Habitat Rehabilitation Project is ongoing and more trees will be planted in the future.
3.	In 2005/2006 our members began to rehabilitate and improve bushland in Todds Road/Francis Road, Lawnton. It already contained suitable koala habitat, koalas were seen on this property on many occasions. A Pine Rivers Shire Council Community Assistance Grant gave us sufficient funds to remove many exotic weeds. Lantana growing around the base of existing koala food trees prevented koalas from utilising these trees and over a period of months it was removed. Our members have assisted natural regeneration on the site by planting more koala food trees. Weeds and exotic grasses in the main body of the reserve were sprayed and slashed. This project is ongoing. Further rehabilitation work on this site will increase its carrying capacity for koalas and other native wildlife. This will be done in stages when funds permit.
4.	In June 2006 the receipt of a Pine Rivers Shire Council Community Assistance Grant enabled our group to extend a wildlife corridor on Lockyer Driver, Ebert Park in Bray Park. Planting koala food trees and other natives will provide additional sources of food and shelter for all native wildlife utilising this site. This work will increase the site’s potential as a wildlife corridor providing relatively ‘safe’ access for breeding and dispersal purposes.
5.	Another Pine Rivers Shire Council Community Assistance Grant received in 2006 was used to replant the creek line along Stanley Street, Strathpine with additional koala food trees and other natives ensuring the area will continue to provide food and shelter for the existing koala population. In addition, thirty-five weed trees have been removed and replaced with eucalypts.
6.	In January 2007 we began work utilising funds received from a Federal Government Envirofund Grant that was used to remove weed trees from the Les Hughes Sporting Complex in Bray Park. This site is already home to an established koala population. In addition we have mulched large grassed areas of the site and replanted koala food trees and other natives to increase the carrying capacity of the area.

Our Education Officer has conducted 37 Koala Awareness and Education Presentations. These were given to a range of community groups and schools as at June 2007.
