General Comments
Working hard to become the best zoological facility in the world, Australia Zoo has commenced a multi-million dollar development scheme. The Zoo's future expansions will encompass a Zoological garden of some 50 hectares in area, showcasing native flora and fauna as well as significant species from around the globe. The next stage of development will incorporate species from Asia, the Americas and Africa and is currently under construction.
Australia Zoo will be at the forefront of the industry both in terms of sheer scale and more importantly in terms of forward planning. Through Australia Zoo's future expansions, the aim is to set the benchmark in captive breeding programs, conservation and education.
