The pathway to achieving that is likely to be a collaboration with the community and landowners, ensuring we can support the regeneration of native plants and bush. In turn, this creates an environment for our native fauna, specifically our birds, to thrive and flourish.

In terms of how we get there, we see three key opportunities.

Yet collectively by pursuing these three opportunities as a community, we can make a more significant impact than we can as individuals.
