A Gold Coast City Council report reveals one of South-East Queensland’s largest koala populations is likely to decline by nearly half within 20 years, to a point of unviability within 50 years.
These forecasts come from redacted pages of an East Coomera koala population report, which was released last November, but are now in the hands of the Coomera Conservation Group.
While the population has remained steady over the past decade, it is now facing reduced habitat due to development and deaths by car strike, disease and dog attacks.
