Koalas

Core koala habitat covers over 7 percent of this lot.

Ecosystems

This lot has a regional ecosystem with of concern biodiversity status (over 5 percent of the lot).

Threatened animals

5 threatened animal species recorded within 2 km.

Threatened plants

1 threatened plant species recorded within 2 km.

Trigger map

A mapped area covers over 15 percent of this lot.

How the score works

Each of the six tiles above scores 0 to 4. The six scores are added together (0 to 24 in total) and scaled to a score out of 100.

Koalas scores 0 when no koala plan mapping and no records within 2 km; 1 when inside the koala priority area, habitat clipping an edge of the lot, or records within 2 km; 2 when locally refined koala habitat over part of the lot; 3 when locally refined habitat over most of the lot, or core habitat over part of it; and 4 when core koala habitat over most of the lot.

Ecosystems scores 0 when no regional ecosystem mapped on the lot; 1 when a least concern regional ecosystem only; 2 when a regional ecosystem of concern; 3 when an endangered regional ecosystem; and 4 when an endangered regional ecosystem and more than one mapped.

Threatened animals scores 0 when none recorded within 2 km; 1 when 1 or 2 recorded within 2 km; 2 when 3 or 4 recorded within 2 km; 3 when 5 to 7 recorded within 2 km; and 4 when 8 or more recorded within 2 km.

Threatened plants scores 0 when none recorded within 2 km; 1 when 1 or 2 recorded within 2 km; 2 when 3 or 4 recorded within 2 km; 3 when 5 to 7 recorded within 2 km; and 4 when 8 or more recorded within 2 km.

06/TRIGGER MAP

Protected plants trigger map

Flora survey trigger map around the lot — Queensland's flora survey trigger map, high risk area shown over the cadastre.

High risk area (flora survey trigger map)

This lot is on Queensland's flora survey trigger map. A high risk area covers over 15 percent of it. That means threatened plants are known or likely to occur here. Clearing native vegetation in a trigger area needs a flora survey first, and can need a permit. If you are thinking about clearing anything, stop and check with an ecologist before you start.

Worth knowing: clearing protected plants without a permit is an offence under section 89 of the Nature Conservation Act 1992, and the penalties can be significant, so it pays to check first.

Koalas

Koala habitat mapping around the lot — Koala habitat mapped under the South East Queensland Koala Conservation Plan.

Koala priority area
Core koala habitat area

Records: 24 within 2 km, 73 within 5 km, 133 within 10 km.

The South East Queensland Koala Conservation Plan maps core koala habitat over 7 percent of this lot. The trees in that area count as koala habitat, clearing them needs approval, and koalas are likely to move through. What helps: keep the eucalypts, bring dogs inside at night, koala-friendly fencing with a gap or a climbable post, and slow down on the road at dusk.

Check before you clear. Koala habitat here is mapped by the Queensland Government, and its clearing rules apply through council planning approvals. Ask an ecologist before you cut.

08/WATERWAYS

Waterways and wetlands

Mapped wetland
Watercourse (Water Act 2000)
Drainage feature (Water Act 2000)

Part of this lot is mapped wetland. Wetlands are the richest habitat on most properties and the easiest to lose by draining or filling.

Mapped wetland - about 70 m away Source: Queensland wetland mapping, WetlandInfo
Watercourse - about 170 m away Source: Vegetation management watercourse and wetland mapping

What it means

Working in a watercourse, lake or spring is regulated. Destroying vegetation, excavating or placing fill in one needs a riverine protection permit under the Water Act 2000, unless the work meets a published exemption.

The trees along a watercourse are regulated separately, under the Vegetation Management Act 1999. The clearing codes set the distance either side of the bank that is protected, and in Great Barrier Reef catchments Category R regrowth along a watercourse cannot be cleared at all.

Wetland protection areas and wetlands of high ecological significance carry state assessment under the planning policy for wetlands: high-impact earthworks and development in or near one are decided by the state, not just the council.

What you can do. Fence stock out of the creek or wetland so the banks hold together, plant local natives along the bank for shade and for the frogs and fish, and control the weeds along the water first, where seed travels furthest - the weeds section lists what is recorded near here.

Report a weed to your council. Your council treats declared weeds on roadsides and can help landholders. Report a sighting to them with a photo and the location.

Sunshine Coast Council will inspect and treat declared weeds you report. Send a photo and the location: the SCC App (App Store, Google Play) or the My Council portal to lodge a service request; SMS 0485 813 130 in business hours; phone (07) 5475 7272; or email customer.service@sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au.

Not sure what it is? Identify and report an invasive plant sets out the ways council will help: email a photo, lodge an online request for service, or bring a specimen in, and a Pest and Vector Officer can advise on control.

Council's Biosecurity Surveillance Program runs from 12 September 2025 to 11 September 2029 under the Biosecurity Act 2014. Officers inspect properties anywhere in the region, with the upper catchment suburbs first, and help landholders manage rat's tail grasses and groundsel bush.

To put a name to it yourself, the free Weeds of South East Qld app (App Store, Google Play) identifies the common ones, and Biosecurity Queensland explains how to identify and report invasive plants. A prohibited plant must be reported to Biosecurity Queensland within 24 hours.

14/TIPS

Tips for this place

A creek or wetland runs through this place. Fence stock out of it and plant local natives along the bank; the water, the frogs and the fish downstream all get better.
Listed weeds are recorded close by: camphor laurel, groundsel bush, broad-leaf privet. Learning to recognise them and pulling them out while they are small is one of the most useful things a household can do.
Not many threatened species are recorded near here yet, which often means nobody has looked. Photograph what you find with the iNaturalist app and post it, and this report changes.
Before you clear anything, check. Native vegetation here is protected for a reason, and a flora survey or a permit can be required.

15/HOW TO READ THIS

How to read this

Maps are clues, not sightings. Habitat mapping and nearby records help you explore what could be around you. They do not prove a species is on the property. Records may be old or approximate, and some sensitive species locations are deliberately blurred by the state.

Species records come from the Queensland Government's WildNet database, searched at 2, 5 and 10 km from the lot boundary. Conservation status is the Queensland Nature Conservation Act listing and the Australian EPBC Act listing.

A sighting you post on iNaturalist becomes part of the Atlas of Living Australia, which is where records like the ones in this report come from. That is the loop: this report reads from citizen science, and you can add to it.

Ecological resources

Why understanding biodiversity is hard

The information about one property is split across three levels of government, and each level keeps its own maps, registers, apps and laws. The Commonwealth lists nationally protected species, the State maps vegetation, wetlands, koalas, weeds and species records across a dozen separate systems, and your council runs its own planning scheme and its own environmental plans on top of both. Nothing joins them up for a single address, which is what this report tries to do. Everything below is where to go next, and who runs it.
