The Koala Food Forest is located in a designated area within Eleebana Reserve, off Eleebana Crescent, Koonawarra consisting of up to 700 tube stock plants.

This Koala Food Forest occupies part of this reserve. There is a large space in front of the forest for community recreation and dog walking areas around the perimeter.

This area was selected as it is a low-canopy area and these plantings, although will be periodically trimmed in stages, it will provide additional canopy cover in this community.

In October 2023, community members and students from Koonawarra Primary School joined Wollongong City Council and Symbio in a community planting day to create this food forest!
