Review of grey literature
Flying-fox management is generally undertaken in line with site-specific roost management plans (e.g. EcoLogical 2014; Scenic Rim Regional Council 2015; Council of Ipswich 2016), which are adopted by local government councils based on their state’s flying-fox camp management policy (e.g. Queensland: SEQ Catchments (2012), State of Queensland Department of Environment and Science (2020); and New South Wales: State of NSW and Office of Environment and Heritage (2018)). We focused on statements made in state-level documents, as these are the primary resource for individual roost plans. We identified common statements/understandings across these documents, with particular emphasis on those that pertain to 1) routine vegetation management activities (weed removal and trimming under-storey vegetation); 2) creation of buffers (either by clearing/trimming canopy trees, or disturbing animals at the roost boundary); and 3) restoration interventions.
