An email is greatly appreciated, before Mallaty Creek is fenced off forever.

🪦After 3 koalas killed last week at Mallaty Creek on Appin Road, and 9 in the last 13 months since we handed our petition of over 1200 signatures to save the 116ha Mallaty Creek koala corridor to Penny Sharpe MLC and Paul Scully MP we are asking for people concerned about inaction to please write to:

➡ [email protected]
➡ [email protected]

and tell the Ministers that outdated and slow to implement measures are failing Koalas and we need more action by saving and restoring Mallaty Creek to koalas and adding an underpass at Appin Road here to directly link Koalas to the Nepean River to the Georges River National Park.

🌳 Mallaty Creek is:
1. The most direct Koala corridor from the Georges River to the Nepean River, recognised by the NSW Chief Scientist as suitable for Koala movement.
2. Mapped by the NSW Government as a Biodiversity Corridor of Regional Significance
3. Feeds directly into the new Georges River Koala National Park and then on to the Dharawal National Park
4. Is mapped as habitat critical to the survival of Koalas.
5. Is the ONLY East-West Koala corridor where the upper water canal goes underground providing direct access to the Nepean.

We’ve lost 3 koalas to road strikes in the Mallaty Creek corridor along Appin Road just this week, including a mum and her joey last night. 💔💔💔

This post from Sydney Basin Koala Network outlines the critical importance of the Mallaty Creek corridor and why it needs to be protected.

A heartbreaking loss on Appin Road 💔

20/09/2025

It was lovely to see everyone respectfully sharing the new Learn to Ride track with Appin Bubba today.

Appin Bubba was last sighted playing chicken on the road outside Appin House in November 2023. It’s good to see him hanging around town, hopefully he stays away from the road this time around!

It’s breeding season and we are likely to see our beautiful fluffy friends hanging around town a lot more often. Please continue to respect their wildness and admire them from afar.

If you come across sick, injured, orphaned or displaced wildlife please call WIRES on 13 000 94737 or report a rescue online https://www.wires.org.au/report-a-rescue

Please also report all koala sightings, so we can record all sightings and track their movements.

🌳🐨 KOALA FOOD TREE PLANTING – APPIN PARK

Be a Koala Hero this National Tree Day! 🌳

Join us Sunday 27 July 2025 for a morning of tree planting, fresh air, and real impact! We're planting koala food trees in Appin Park—creating a vital food source for injured koalas being cared for by local wildlife heroes. 🌿❤️

Appin is home to a beautiful koala population—but road accidents put many at risk. By helping plant these trees, you’re giving injured koalas a second chance at life and helping them get back to the wild, where they belong. 🐾🌱

✨ Let’s grow a future where koalas thrive—one tree at a time. Bring your friends, family, gloves, and good vibes. Every tree makes a difference!

📍 Appin Park
🕘 Sunday 27 July | 9:00am – 12:00pm
🚗 Park between the skate park and the sports field
🧭 Follow the cycleway north of the skate park to the planting site.
