Hi Martin. I agree with notatus.

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?

Yes. Each rectangular wire square measures 15mm (width) by 25mm (height).

Thanks Dron. Are the vertical wires about 15 mm apart in the trap?

Also the location data in the image was incorrect, sometimes my phone does that when I'm on wifi ... I have updated the location manually to Mongarlowe.
You can see the tip of the tail better in this photo:
