Wombats are stout, sturdy marsupials native to Australia.

Wombats are extremely strong and determined animals and may sometimes build their burrows under houses, along driveways or along domestic stock routes. This may cause some inconvenience and conflict between wombats and people.

Woodlands are home to a great diversity of native birds, including robins, thornbills, honeyeaters and owls.

The bush stone-curlew, or bush thick-knee, is a large, mainly nocturnal, ground-dwelling bird endemic to Australia.

Native animals may live in our backyards, parks, bushland and waterways near urban neighbourhoods.

We conduct health assessments of waterways and work with local councils and other agencies to monitor water quality.
