South East Queensland Koala Conservation State Planning Regulatory Provisions (SPRP) koala habitat values maps
The SPRP koala habitat values maps show koala habitat within assessable development areas defined under the SPRP.
The SPRP applies to the priority areas of Pine Rivers and the Koala Coast (priority koala assessable development areas). The provisions also apply in areas where the Queensland Government previously had a concurrence agency role under the Koala Conservation Plan 2006 and the Interim South East Queensland Koala State Planning Regulatory Provision February 2010 (koala assessable development areas).

The Koala Plan
The effect of the Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2006 and Management Program 2006–2016 (the Koala Plan) relating to planning and development assessment has since been replaced by the koala planning instruments (SPRP and SPP). As a result, the mapping of koala habitat areas under the Koala Plan (conservation, sustainability and urban koala) have been superseded by the SPRP and SPP koala habitat values maps.
Other elements of the plan, such as policies relating to sequential clearing, use of a koala spotter, rehabilitation of injured or sick koalas and translocation remain in place.
Sequential clearing requirements of koala habitat trees under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 is in place in koala districts A and B. Koala spotters are required in koala habitat areas in district A.

South East Queensland Koala Habitat Assessment and Mapping Project
The South East Queensland Koala Habitat Assessment and Mapping Project, completed in May 2009, was undertaken by GHD on behalf of the Queensland Government. It represents the most comprehensive koala habitat assessment and mapping project undertaken in Queensland to date. The koala habitat values mapping has informed the development of the statutory maps associated with the SPP and SPRP. This mapping has also set requirements under the Offsets Policy and State Government Supported Community Infrastructure Policy.
