Log in to see the plans as drawnKoala Threat Mapping is based upon identifying areas of development pressure which
aggravates car strike, dog attack or the increased incidence of bushfire. There is no
scientific evidence to suggest that development aggravates disease within koala
populations as some populations in relatively undisturbed areas also have Clamydia
(pers. comm. with Dr Jon Hanger).
Map 4 shows the concentration of development towards the coast as being a higher
risk when compared with rural areas. Based on the Koala Threat Mapping, the Koala
Conservation Plan places a priority on protecting populations in low to medium risk
areas where koalas have the best chance of survival in the long term. The localities of
Lake Weyba, Noosa Hill/Noosa Heads, Mt Tinbeerwah, Ridgewood, Woondum,
Ringtail Creek and Como are identified as priority areas for koala conservation actions.
