Birds
The newest bird addition seems to be the White-Fronted Chat, a species which I didn't even know were in any zoos. Black-Winged (Pied) Stilt, Blue-Faced Honeyeater, Blue-Winged Kookaburra, Straw-Necked Ibis and White-Browed Woodswallow have been there since at least 2017. Australian Shelduck, Australian Ringneck (Cloncurry), Blue Bonnet and Pied (Black-Winged) Stilt are all still there.
Mammals
Yellow-Footed Rock-Wallaby and Spectacled Flying-Fox have been there since at least 2017.
Reptiles
They've had the Diamond Python since at least 2017 as well.
