Colac Otway Shire Council is proposing to cease it

Colac Otway Shire Council is proposing to cease its bat nudging program and leave the animals where they are in the Colac Botanic Gardens.

The council will discuss the management of the grey headed flying foxes in the gardens at its monthly council meeting next week, after previous discussions were withdrawn from the council’s September agenda.

The bats have called the gardens home seasonally since 2016, with numbers fluctuating due to factors including weather, food, the change of seasons and the nomadic nature of the species.
