Twenty nest boxes will be installed at five properties in Chambers Flat to help protect the endangered greater glider, Australia’s largest native gliding mammal.
The project will be facilitated by the Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland and is one of 39 projects funded by ratepayers under the environment levy.
“Our ratepayers invest in Logan’s natural landscapes and native animals not just for today, but for our children to enjoy in the future,” environment chair councillor Jon Raven said.
“We know how important our green spaces and wildlife are to the community, and it’s important we use the environment levy to look after them.”
The levy is collected via quarterly rates notices, and under the 2023/2024 budget, it cost $94.40 per property.
