Koala Conservation Agreement Program
The Koala Conservation Agreement Program (KCAP) is a partnership between a landholder and Council to protect and reinstate koala habitat, manage dogs and improve koala movement on private property. The program is voluntary and free to join.
As a landholder, when you join KCAP you have the option of signing either a three or five year agreement. In return, Council will financially assist you to manage koala habitat on your property. The agreement does not alter the title of the property and is extinguished at resale.
Benefits to landholders
- An annual koala habitat payment for the life of the agreement to assist you with your conservation efforts
- An optional one-off conservation works contribution towards the cost of revegetation, weed control, koala friendly fencing, dog management and management of mature koala food trees
- Property management plan developed in partnership with council
- Advice on other funding opportunities
- Advice on current bushland management practices
- Advice on dog management and koala friendly fencing
