Padua College has joined forces with the Mornington Peninsula Koala Conservation (MPKC) group to address the problem of koala habitat loss on the Mornington Peninsula.

With only 18% of native vegetation left on the Peninsula, habitat loss is the key threat to koala survival. By restoring the Indigenous vegetation, our community can provide the correct habitat and food needed to sustain a healthy koala population on the Peninsula for future generations.

Our Tyabb Campus sits in an area of the Peninsula that has been identified as a potential wildlife corridor for koalas and other wildlife and, from time to time, we have been fortunate enough to have koalas visit our campus. With the support of the Mornington Peninsula Koala Conservation group, we have committed to an indigenous revegetation program to help safeguard the future of these beautiful creatures.
