Notice to Residents – Upcoming Flora and Fauna Surveys

The Shire of Capel would like to inform residents of Mangles Road, Minninup Road, and Tatton Place that flora and fauna surveys will be undertaken in your area over the coming weeks as part of the Tuart Forest Cycle Link planning phase.

These surveys are part of the environmental assessments to help guide the design development and protect local biodiversity. Environmental Consultants will be working in the road reserve connecting Mangles and Minninup Road on the following dates

Night-time Fauna Surveys

Please note that nocturnal surveys will be conducted between the hours of 9 pm and 2 am, and residents may observe spotlighting activities in the area. This method is the standard process for identifying Western Ringtail Possums and will be carried out with care to minimise disturbance.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation while this important work is undertaken.
