Flying-fox Management Plan

Nestled in the bushland treetops of Myles Dunphy Reserve in Oatley is a camp of Grey-headed Flying-foxes. This iconic species is listed as ‘Vulnerable’ under the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016. Council has developed a Draft Oatley Flying-fox Camp Management Plan 2021 to look after our flying friends.

The draft Plan aims to guide protection measures for the Grey-headed Flying-fox and their habitat, while identifying actions that manage public health risks and minimise impacts on the community. It will also serve as a guiding document for stakeholder involvement, actions, roles and responsibilities in relation to the Oatley Camp.

The draft Plan is now on Public Exhibition and we are inviting the community to comment and provide feedback. To learn more and have your say, please scan this QR code.
