Recovery projects

The Threatened Species Bushfire Recovery Program consists of four projects.

These projects delivered recovery actions for the identified priority threatened species in each of the following protected area locations.

1. Gondwana World Heritage Area (Lamington, Mt Barney and Main Range National Parks)

This project identified those threatened species (14 vertebrates, 24 plants and endemic invertebrates) most at risk from bushfire impacts in the area.  Targeted recovery actions for these priority species included surveys and on-ground work to reduce threats from future fires, pest animals and weeds.

2. Cooloola section of Great Sandy National Park

This project identified those threatened species (2 birds, 4 frogs, 4 plants and endemic invertebrates) most at risk from fire impacts between Noosa and Rainbow Beach. Targeted recovery actions for these priority species included species surveys and on-ground work to reduce threats from future fires, pest animals and weeds.

3. Oakview National Parks

This project identified two critically endangered reptiles (Nangur spiny skink and Oakview leaf-tailed gecko) as being most at risk from fire impacts in the Wide Bay-Burnett region. Targeted recovery actions for these priority species included species surveys and on-ground work to reduce threats from future fires, pest animals and weeds.

4. Bulburin National Park

This project identified those threatened species (silver-headed Antechnus, ringed thin-tailed gecko, Bulburin Nut and endemic invertebrates) most at risk from fire impacts in this area south west of Gladstone. Targeted recovery actions for these priority species included species surveys and on-ground work to reduce threats from future fires, pest animals and weeds.
