Where koala overlays bind heavily
**Redland City Council**: most of the mainland and bay islands. **Logan City Council**: southern suburbs (Carbrook, Cornubia, Mt Cotton). **City of Moreton Bay**: northern suburbs (Mount Mee, Kobble Creek). **Brisbane City Council**: scattered LDR pockets (parts of Karana Downs, parts of Mt Crosby, Pullenvale). **Gold Coast**: hinterland edge (Tallai, Tallebudgera Valley).
What koala overlays prevent
Material vegetation removal in mapped habitat triggers offset planting requirements (often 5:1 or 10:1 ratios) and specialist ecological assessment. Subdivision in mapped habitat often becomes Impact Assessable with low approval rates. Multi-dwelling proposals frequently rejected outright. The honest answer for Redland mainland: confirm koala overlay status before any offer; many lots that look subdividable on zoning alone are killed by the koala overlay.
FAQ
