Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is reported to be locally common (Flegg and Madge 1995). The species has suffered from urban developments on the edges of its range near Sydney (Blakers et al. 1984), however, most of its habitat is now protected and the population is suspected to be stable.
