Island in Tasmania, Australia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fulham Island is a privately owned island with an area of 10 hectares (25 acres). It is part of the Sloping Island Group, lying close to the south-eastern coast of Tasmania around the Tasman and Forestier Peninsulas in Tasmania, Australia.[1]
In 2016, Fulham Island was purchased by the Singaporean Hotelier and property magnate Koh Wee Meng (Aka "James Koh") through his company "JK Island Pty Ltd".[2] James Koh is a billionaire and controls Singapore-listed Fragrance Group.[3][2][4] Despite facing objections in a Tasmanian planning tribunal from local wildlife groups,[2] James Koh's company continues construction of a jetty on the island.[5][6]
Waldemar reef is present at the north-east end of Fulham island.[7]
The island has been extensively grazed and the vegetation is dominated by introduced grasses, bracken, boxthorn and some remnant blackwoods.[1]
Recorded breeding seabird species are little penguin, short-tailed shearwater and kelp gull.[1]
