Koalas in the Clarence Valley

Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this link

Calling all citizen scientists and wildlife enthusiasts! Clarence Valley Council is keen to learn about where you've seen koalas.

We are collecting data on where our koalas are located to help conserve this iconic species. The koala register will let you pin point a koala sighting location on a map. You'll also be able to add more information about the sighting.

Furthermore, local koala release sites are lacking and so we are seeking nominations for suitable sites. If you think your property would make a suitable koala release site - nominate it! Head to the Release Site Nomination tab to fill in the form.

Koala Register

over 2 years

Help us to monitor our koalas by recording your sightings!

  1. Zoom (by scrolling / use the + or - icon at the bottom right hand of your screen) into the area you would like to place a pin or search for an address. The yellow highlighted areas outline the Areas of Regional Koala Significance in the Clarence Valley Council based on NSW Government analyses.
  2. Once the location is identified, drag the Sighting pin (expand + to the left of your screen) to the location on the map. You can also drag and drop pins relating to calls (Heard but not seen), Scats, and traces (Tree scratchings).
  3. Once the pin has been positioned please complete the comment section. Mandatory questions are marked *, the remainder of the questions are optional but appreciated. Press submit once you have finished. Please note that information entered in the survey is viewable to the public once you have submitted the point, so please do not include identifying notes or defamatory remarks.
  4. Continue adding points until you have shown us all of your koala sightings. Note that if a sighting has already been identified, you are welcome to submit a new point with updated information as this helps us to determine seasonal movement patterns and use of particular areas.
Please note that your data is important. If you have trouble entering a record, please get in touch with the Project Officer for assistance or download and send in a paper form.

We thank you for your input in this project.
