Property Council of Australia - Property Council submission on Koala Planning Legislation

If you are following the 'debate' about what is needed to establish conditions where our existing koala populations may have an opportunity to survive into the future then you will be interested to read what the Property Council has to say about South East Queensland Koala Conservation State Planning Regulatory Provisions (Koala SPRPs) and the Draft Koala Conservation State Planning Policy (Draft Koala SPP)

Survival of the koala in its natural habitat is threatened by our increasing expansion. What will be the cost?

Every species on the planet has basic needs such as clean air, clean water, clean food, followed by a safe place to shelter. All species share but one planet - with finite resources. As a species modern western man has yet to learn to live in harmony with other species on the planet.

The demand for more land to clear for our shelter or housing will impact on the earth's ability to provide our other needs.

Business as usual will not sustain us all. It is a furphy that we must have economic growth in order to survive. There is now some debate about this - we need much more debate to be well informed 21st century citizen's who are not motivated - or driven by greed.

If we develop - we must pay the full cost. In the end the planet will take its dues.  It may not be easy for some of us to understand how to balance the scales for the planet.
