There is known habitat for Leadbeater’s possum within the project area that has the potential to be impacted.

The conservation and protection of Leadbeater’s Possum is critical for this project and a fundamental consideration in project planning.

Trail alignments have been designed to minimise impacts to large old trees which may provide critical habitat for this species.

Through previous studies, engagement with species experts and engagement with stakeholders, the project has developed a range of practices to minimise impacts on Leadbeater’s Possum.
