Kooyong

Koala Woman Says Before there were tennis courts in Kooyong there was good koala habitat. The area was settled in the 1860s and urbanised in the 1920s. It is not known when the last Koala sighting was, and the only remaining habitat is along the Yarra River.Member for...

Jagajaga

Koala Woman Says Koalas appear to have been widespread over the western half of this electorate up until 20 years ago, but between 2010 – 2019 there were only four records, all along the Yarra River on the southern boundary of this electorate.. It would be great to...

Isaacs

Koala Woman Says The area was first developed in the 1850s with logging and then farming, so most forests here were well and truly gone before the fur trade. There were some Koalas reported in the early 1960s, but in the last 20 years or so this habitat was cleared to...

Indi

Koala Woman Says The Strathbogies (half of which is in this electorate) have been a public relations nightmare for the Koala. At one time, the Victorian Government argued there were 180,000 koalas there, which is impossible given the size and quality of the habitat....

Hotham

Koala Woman Says AKF has very little information about this electorate historically. Some good habitat remains around Dingley but it is too small and too fragmented for any Koalas to use. None have been reported since the 1960s.Member for HothamMs Clare O’Neil MP...

Holt

Koala Woman Says Four records between 2010 – 2019. This is a very sad state of affairs, and extinction is imminent. When I was a child there used to be koalas in abundance in Ferntree Gully which is partly in this electorate. In the south, a few Koalas were reported 8...

Higgins

Koala Woman Says This is 'urban central' now, but it is fascinating to think that this whole area was forested at one time and maybe koalas were abundant. Any habitat was gone by the mid 1920s, and there are no Koala records for this electorate.Member for HigginsDr...

Gorton

Koala Woman Says This is another electorate that was originally mainly grassland with Koala habitat mainly along the watercourses where there are some old recorded sightings. Two Koalas were recorded in 2015, so Koalas in Gorton are practically extinct. If we are...

Goldstein

Koala Woman Says This bayside electorate was first settled in the 1870s. There were probably a few Koalas here in lower-quality habitat, we don’t really know. There probably hasn’t been a Koala sighted in this electorate in 150 years.Member for GoldsteinMs Zoe Daniel...

Gippsland

Koala Woman Says This is a small number of koalas given the size of the electorate but most of the better low-land habitat has been cleared for agriculture. It is also the largest wood and pulp production area in Victoria. Because the koala is not listed under Federal...
