Targeted Reptile and Amphibian Surveys for Randwick City Council

During the spring months, Narla experienced ecologists were lucky enough to undertake reptile and amphibian surveys throughout the Randwick City Council Local Government Area on behalf of Council to assist in updating local databases for reptiles and amphibians in the area. The goal of the project was to provide Council with data which could assist in the continued management and protection of these species in locality

Randwick LGA has many pockets of remnant and regenerating bushland that provides suitable microhabitat for many reptile and amphibian to utlise. Whilst no threatened species were identified during this round of surveys, Narla ecologists did find plenty of good quality habitat throughout the LGA and managed to observe a large variety of both common and rare lizard (both with and without legs), snake and frog species.

This was a great experience for our team, as we always love the opportunity to assist on projects with the aim to conserve Australia's unique fauna for many generations to come.
