Boothby

Koala Woman Says

This electorate has the highest density of Koalas on the South Australian mainland and includes the Eden Hills where there are some natural eucalypt woodlands, and Belair National Park where most Koalas are seen. Other hilly areas have certain development controls to preserve scenic amenity. Why not increase scenic amenity by planting Koala food trees in these areas, thereby improving habitat quality and maintaining habitat connectivity? While there are lots of Koalas in what’s left of the bush in this electorate there is also an incredibly high mortality rate from vehicle strike, dog attack and disease. It is concerning that fewer Koalas have been seen in urban areas in the last few years. What’s going on here? Is there enough street lighting for instance? Are speed limits too high? Are dogs restrained at night?
