Microbats, rainbow lorikeets and sugar gliders are taking residence in man-made hollows carved into trees on the Gold Coast, with up to 90 per cent of the hollows being taken up with the native wildlife, according to project manager Marty Harris
Mr Harris said he has seen the habitat destruction first hand as new developments are built in the region, with urban eucalypts commonly being removed.
The Gold Coast city council has produced 400 hollows since the program’s inception three years ago.
