Howard River Toadlet Habitat Requirements Project
Department of Land Planning and Environment (NTG) request Collaboration with Extractive Industry Operators in the Sunday Creek area around the project.
Why Join Us?
- Learn about a Flora & Fauna Division project refining habitat requirements for the threatened Howard River Toadlet (Uperoleia daviesae) in the Sunday Creek region.
- Explore opportunities for industry collaboration to support low‑impact monitoring across ~15 sites (remnant bushland + mining tenements).
- Understand how improved ecological data can reduce uncertainty in environmental assessments and streamline approvals.
Project Highlights
- Audio loggers to detect breeding calls (2025/26 & 2026/27 wet seasons)
- Vegetation & soil surveys
- Groundwater monitoring (2026/27)
- Collaboration with CDU IT to develop an AI call‑recognition tool
Potential benefits for Industry
- Faster, more cost‑effective surveys
- Improved habitat models for mine planning
- Greater certainty in approvals & reduced delays
- Data to support transparent, defensible reporting
- Insights for rehabilitation & long‑term land management
