COG actively promotes the conservation of birds and their habitats, particularly with respect to endangered woodland habitats, and responds to matters that have impacts on birds, their habitats and habitat connectivity. COG does this primarily through representation on some Government consultation forums, by participating in or providing advice on bird-related projects, by contributing to the biodiversity conservation agenda of the Conservation Council ACT, and through community awareness-raising activities. This includes making submissions to draft Government strategies, policies and plans, and providing expert opinion on planning and development matters affecting birds, including urban and infrastructure development applications and environmental impact assessments.
COG conservation priorities may vary from time to time. At March 2023, COG priorities are:
