'It doesn't need to be one or the other': balancing brolgas and windfarms in Victoria
Victorian brolga numbers have shrunk due to habitat loss and drying wetlands. Now conservationists are calling for careful planning of windfarms.
The vast, windy plains of Neville Oddie's property in Chepstowe offer a lesson in biodiversity. One by one, the fourth-generation Pyrenees farmer lifts the rippled roofing tiles scattered across the grasslands, revealing little whip snakes and lizards. But the jewel in the crown of this privately owned farmland is a population of brolgas.
The tall waterbirds are listed as a threatened species in Victoria. According to Birdlife Australia, the 2024 flock count sat at just over 800. Numbers in northern Australia are significantly higher.
While loss of wetlands is threatening the brolgas’ habitat, researchers have recently been investigating another possible risk to the birds: the development of windfarms.
Looking across the artficial wetlands created by farmer Neville Oddie on his property, Chepstowe, to help brolgas nest. His property's three wind turbines are in the background. Victoria, Australia. 23 July 2024.
