Description: Indicative study area of Koala Corridors Sydney SW mapping which shows high quality koala habitat, core koala habitat (defined as large patches (greater than 100 ha) of high quality koala habitat that contain known koala feed tree species and records of koalas), and koala movement corridors in a study area that includes areas within and directly adjacent to the Greater Macarthur and Wilton Growth Areas. Koala movement corridors are classified as primary, secondary and tertiary according to the level of connectivity of core koala habitat which are critical for the long-term viability of the regional koala population in the study area. Koala corridor categories also consider corridor dimensions such as minimum widths. Koala corridors are likely to extend south and west of the mapped area into Nattai National Park, Thirlmere National Park, and Bargo State Conservation Area. They are named, largely by geographic area or river/creek catchment. The mapping, along with key koala conservation principles, form the basis of advice by the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment related to the conservation of the regional koala population extending from Holsworthy and Moorebank, through Campbelltown and Wollondilly, to Wingecarribee. For further information on the data layer and its development, please see Conserving koalas in Wollondilly and Campbelltown Local Government Areas.
