The Queensland Government is developing a new South East Queensland Koala Conservation Strategy 2026–2036 to succeed the now-expired 2020–2025 strategy.

The A fresh start for South East Queensland koalas: Developing a new South East Queensland Koala Conservation Strategy 2026–2036 discussion paper presents four focus areas to help address the decline of this iconic species. The focus areas cover:

  • Protecting and restoring habitat
  • Reducing threats
  • Working together
  • Enhancing monitoring, reporting and mapping.

At the same time, we’re also seeking feedback on how current koala habitat regulations can be improved. We encourage you to have your say to help shape a common-sense, balanced approach to koala conservation.

    Confidentiality

    In the interest of transparency and to promote informed discussion, we would prefer submissions to be made publicly available wherever this is reasonable. If confidentiality is preferable, this should be clearly noted on the front page of the submission.

    While the Queensland Government will endeavour to identify and protect material claimed as confidential, exempt information and information of which the disclosure would be contrary to the public interest (within the meaning of the Right to Information Act 2009), it cannot guarantee that submissions will not be made publicly available. There is a possibility that the department may be required to reveal confidential information as a result of a right to information request.
