  Schedule 7 Koala Habitat Areas is used for assessing development in koala habitat areas against the Biodiversity Overlay Code provisions and the koala conservation criteria contained in the Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2006 and Management
Program 2006-2016 and the Koala Sensitive Design Guideline 2012. Koala habitat trees are not confined to the areas mapped in Schedule 7, but also occur throughout other parts of Noosa Shire.
