Against all expert advice, Eurobodalla Council voted to go ahead with a dispersal of the vulnerable grey-headed flying-fox camp at WaterGardens, Batemans Bay.

This link theconversation.com/not-in-my-backyard-how-to-live explains the situation and why dispersals are not a long term solution and will not resolve conflict between bats and humans. Here is the dispersal plan which lists risks as high likelihood of failure, high cost, risk of bats moving to somewhere more "unsuitable" and needing long-term follow up action.
