The Biodiversity Strategy 2025-2035 sets out our 10-year plan to protect, restore and enhance Banyule’s biodiversity while strengthening community connection to nature. We will deliver this through five focus areas:
Key actions include developing a biodiversity monitoring program, planting 250,000 indigenous plants by 2035, improving wildlife corridors, protecting significant species and habitats, managing pest plants and animals, supporting citizen science and community programs, and working with Wurundjeri community and other partners. The benefits include healthier ecosystems, stronger biodiversity, increased canopy cover, climate resilience and greater community stewardship of nature.
