A - 5.4 A - 5.4.1 Terrestrial Fauna Diversity of Gosford Fauna An important feature of the Gosford area is its fauna species diversity, including the high number of threatened species and animals that occur at the edge of their natural distribution. There is also a large number of migratory birds that visit the area’s wetlands and threatened species such as the Swift Parrot and Regent Honeyeater that rely on food resources in the area at certain times of the year. As part of the development of the Gosford Biodiversity Strategy a list has been compiled of all fauna species likely to be found in Gosford City (see Appendix 3). This list is derived from DEC Atlas records, specific studies and local knowledge. It is noted that this list does not include invertebrates or fish species. The list is considered to be a starting point only for data collection on known species and it is recommended that it be reviewed, updated and revised as required as new information becomes available.
