MidCoast Council now has a regional Flying-fox camp management plan, after the Plan was adopted at the 28 July 2021 Council Ordinary Meeting. Check out the Council Meeting minutes here.

Council’s management plan will guide flying-fox management at each camp, including reducing conflicts with nearby residents, while protecting important biodiversity.

The plan will help Council obtain approvals for on-ground works and also apply for State and federal funding.

There are 18 known flying-fox camps across the region and while the plan considers all camps, five in particular were the focus.

To find out more about the location of these camps, the different types of flying fox species in Australia and to view the adopted plan head to the Flying-fox Camp Management Plan project page below.
