Summary of Statistical Information:

These statistics do not include sightings. Never the less, it is important that all sightings including those of the public be reported to the Pine Rivers District Office's Environmental Services Department for inclusion in their Geographical Information System (GIS) so that we can track our koala population.

This information together with autopsy reports and the condition of animals treated further identifies the health and or vulnerability of the koala. Sightings should be reported to phone 3480 6666 or refer to the Pine Rivers District's website www.moretonbayltc.qld.gov.au .
