nest boxes
Port of Brisbane land sustains many ecologically important features including bushland corridors that provide habitat and physical buffers for native species. In order to support these native species, PBPL has installed a number of nest boxes in three buffer areas, along Pritchard Street, Wynnum North Road and Lucinda Drive.
These nest boxes now provide important habitat for many native birds and animals including squirrel gliders, bats, native bees, wood ducks, brush tail possums, and rainbow lorikeets. The boxes are inspected annually and cameras are used to take photos of the species inhabiting the nest boxes.
invasive species
All general cargo and container ports, including the Port of Brisbane, can potentially provide entry points into Australia for invasive species. We have Biosecurity officers permanently at the Port, and cargo is randomly selected for inspection. Please watch this video that explains the importance of reporting invasive species.
In consultation with Department of Agriculture and Water Resources (DAWR – federal) and Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (state), we’ve developed a webpage to assist workers at the Port to identify and report potential pest incursions. The webpage has been designed to be compatible with smartphones and to have the functionality of an app.
If you would like to report an invasive species, click here to access the Invasive Species App or report it directly to DAWR’s See.Secure.Report hotline on 1800 798 636.
