Flora and fauna survey

Mosman’s flora and fauna and the ecological health of the area’s bushland sites are stable and continuing to improve according to a comprehensive survey conducted over summer. 

The study provides a snapshot of the current biodiversity value and a condition assessment of selected Council-managed natural assets, with Council’s consistent work program aided by dedicated Bushcare volunteers helping to ensure a positive outcome.

Key findings and changes from the last survey included 499 indigenous native plant species recorded, up from 490 in 2016, and 48 additional flora species since 2016 as well as 64 native fauna species recorded during the latest survey, with two threatened plant species and four threatened fauna species identified. Six bushland sites contained threatened ecological communities.
