Moreton Bay, Queensland
2016
On behalf of the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads we are working alongside other consultancies on the experimental design and implementation of a koala connectivity monitoring program for the Moreton Bay Rail Project between Petrie and Kippa-Ring in SE Queensland. The new rail line includes a range of underpass structures that will be monitored to evaluate their suitability for koalas using techniques such as GPS and radio-tracking, Wireless Identification Devices, trail cameras and thermal imaging cameras. The project will run for 12 months and will culminate in a report detailing the outcomes and recommendations for underpass designs to suit koalas.
