Thank you @Dron for the measurements and the additional picture and video. That gives a lot more information.
Based on the additional information my ID now leans more towards Petaurus notatus (Krefft's Glider). Based on the wire spacing and your second picture it looks like the head/body length is approximately 17cm, which makes it smaller than I originally thought. Also in the additional picture you sent it looks like quite a short tail (approximately equal to the head/body). Both these fit more with Petaurus notatus.

@DonFletcher what do you think?

Thanks for your note Jesse.

A good sighting, as it's the first record of this species in this patch of bush, although they're found on either side.

In Hampsons, 1910 work he noted "Eublemma glaucochroa, Turner ined." (ined. (abbr.): ineditus,unpublished)
seems as though this was a mistake on his part. Making his a synonym of Turners. The AFD has this as Unplaced glaucochroa (Turner, 1902)
Sticking with AFD should this be noted as Unplaced glaucochroa
