Listed Vulnerable in NSW. For the last 5 or so years, we've only had records of a single bird around at any one time - the long standing Turner bird from 2014 to Jul 2016, and one for a few days at the ANBG in Aug 2017. This is the first record since. While an unfortunate record, still nice to know that there was one around.
User's notes
Found dead adjacent to Hawker synthetic football field at the base of a stringybark tree. Some evidence of animal saliva on the chest area

I wonder how such a big predator bird can meet its maker. Sad face. Beautiful talons!

EPSDD Conservation Research has been running a project in Namadgi NP over the past few months using Songmetres to detect gliders and owls. You would be pleased to know we are still recording Powerful Owl in the park.

A shame that some important records go unreported or unsubstantiated though, Jason. Without being submitted through formal channels these valuable records go unnoticed.
