Flying-fox Habitat Restoration Phase 2020-30
The implementation phase of the Program runs from 2020-2030 with the following objectives:
- Develop and deliver a grants program for NSW councils to enhance, restore or create roosting and foraging habitat for flying-foxes. The preference will be for sites that are likely to reduce conflict at contentious camps – either by directing flying-foxes away from human settlement or in other ways that seek to reduce conflict with humans.
- Engage with councils with the identified potential sites to foster participation and co-design projects that effectively address the program aims.
- Support councils to engage with their communities around flying-fox habitat and conflict reduction.
- Monitor projects and share lessons so that future flying-fox habitat and engagement projects are improved.
There are two funding streams under the program:
- Funding Stream 1 - Camp Habitat Restoration
- Funding Stream 2 - Foraging Habitat Restoration
All funding rounds under these funding streams are now closed.
