• A partnership approach is key to the successful delivery of the program. The Restoration Plan for each site has been developed by QTFN in close collaboration with the owners of each property. Tailored to the specific needs of each site and shaped to achieve the most koala habitat gain for every dollar spent, the Restoration Plans incorporate best-practice revegetation methods.

    The success of the Koala Habitat Restoration Partnership Program has seen the Queensland Government increase the funding capacity of the program from their initial investment of $1.78M to $4.48 million, enabling the program to significantly increase the amount of koala habitat restoration delivered across South East Queensland.

    The program funding includes investment by the Land Restoration Fund to investigate ways that carbon offsetting can be incorporated into koala habitat projects. This will supplement delivery costs and increase the amount of habitat restoration return for the koala conservation funding invested.

    The Expression of Interest for the second round of the Koala Habitat Restoration Partnerships Program closed in June 2022. 

    The successful Expression of Interest landholders will be announced shortly by the Queensland Government for the second round of the Koala Habitat Restoration Partnership Program.
