7.6 State Planning Policy 2/10: Koala Conservation in South East
    Queensland
7.6.1 Background
The State Planning Policy 2/10: Koala Conservation in South East Queensland (Koala SPP)
came into effect on the 31st May 2010. The Koala SPP complements the South East
Queensland Koala Conservation State Planning Regulatory Provisions (2010) and provides
direction to local governments when making or amending their planning schemes, as well
as for other land allocation processes such as master planning/structure planning
processes, and community infrastructure designations. The Koala SPP significantly expands
the area within South East Queensland that must incorporate koala conservation and
habitat protection outcomes into planning decisions. The Koala SPP applies to the seven
eastern local government areas of South East Queensland: Sunshine Coast Regional Council,
Moreton Bay Regional Council, Brisbane City Council, Redland City Council, Ipswich City
Council, Logan City Council and Gold Coast City Council.

The Koala SPP contains Koala Habitat Values maps that apply to the seven eastern local
government areas. The Koala Habitat Values mapping identifies areas of bushland habitat,
areas suitable for rehabilitation and other areas of value.


7.6.2 Applicability to the Subject Site
SPP Koala Habitat mapping shows the area as generally not suitable as koala habitat
(FIGURE 6).



7.7 The Queensland Coastal Plan (2014)
7.7.1 Background
The Coastal Management Plan is prepared under the Coastal Protection and Management
Act 1995 (Coastal Act) to describe how the coastal zone of Queensland is to be managed.
The objects of the Coastal Act related to coastal management are to:
   •   provide for the protection, conservation, rehabilitation and management of the
       coastal zone, including its resources and biological diversity; and
   •   encourage the enhancement of knowledge of coastal resources and the effect of
       human activities on the coastal zone.

This plan provides direction and guidance for use of Queensland's coastal resources to
achieve coastal management outcomes. Queensland Coastal Hazard Areas maps show areas
vulnerable to coastal erosion or storm tide inundation.

Coastal development is assessed by SARA under the State Development Assessment
Provisions (SDAP) State Code 8: Coastal Development and Tidal Works.
