Redland City Council has tendered a submission on the State's draft plan, calling for avenues for landowners to seek compensation if their possible property yield is reduced under new laws, as well as incentives for landowners to protect koala habitat.

The framework is delivered in two key documents, the Draft South East Queensland Koala Conservation State Planning Policy (SPP) and Draft South East Queensland Koala Conservation State Planning Regulatory Provisions (SPRP).

Significantly, the framework will hand all responsibility for koala-compliant development to councils and remove the State's co-assessment role, which has led the council to clarify the need for shared responsibility with the State in any subsequent compensation claims.

Cr Craig Ogilvie (Div 2) said he was concerned that "if the State Government is no longer a concurrence agency, they won't stand next to us in defending these decisions".

The submission also called for State Government developments, like schools and public housing, to be subject to their own planning criteria, which under the current draft they would not be.

The framework identifies all of Redland City, except North Stradbroke Island, as a 'priority koala management area', bringing in many urban parts of the city not previously subject to koala planning laws.

Councillor Helen Murray (Div 10) said the policy's limitations on clearing land focused too strongly on "preservation over conservation".

"People have got to be able to use their property for what it was intended, and this policy does not share the responsibility for koalas across the city; it puts it all on our rural landowners," Cr Murray said.

"And then this policy penalises our Greenie residents who are doing the right thing, who will now hesitate before planting trees because they could be stopped from cutting them down later.
