Queensland Residents draws to the attention of the House that for the last two years koalas have been disappearing from the Redlands Koala Coast area at the rate of 1000 per year. There are about 2400 koalas left in the Koala Coast now, but at the current rate of decline they will be completely gone by 2012. Council, the community and the state government need to work together to stop this from happening. Your petitioners therefore request the House to use its power to keep koalas alive in Redland City for future generations by ensuring the State government:• Stop the removal of their trees;• Stop koalas being killed on roads and railway lines;• Stop dog attacks;• Stop urbanisation from destroying their habitat; and • Start using legislation and money to make it happen.
