Wildlife we find in the Scenic Rim

The Logan and Albert rivers, open grazing country and the forested ranges around Lamington and Tamborine give the Scenic Rim a wide mix of wildlife. Our crews check for koalas, gliders, platypus and turtles along creek lines and handle the pythons, eastern brown snakes and red-bellied black snakes that turn up on most jobs.

Council, koala and vegetation rules in Beaudesert

Beaudesert falls under Scenic Rim Regional Council. Scenic Rim Regional Council's planning scheme maps local environmental values, and development and operational works approvals in the area often carry fauna management conditions.

Beaudesert is in koala district A under the Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2017. Koala habitat trees here must be cleared in sequence with a koala spotter present, whatever other approvals or exemptions the project relies on. South East Queensland's mapped koala priority areas and koala habitat areas also limit what can be cleared at all, so we check the state mapping against your clearing plan before we start.

Breeding places such as hollows, nests and burrows can only be disturbed under an approved species management program, so we inspect and record them before the first tree comes down.

Species names and profiles
Area, sources and limitations

A 50 km circle centred on Beaudesert, not a council boundary. It includes nearby areas and may extend across state boundaries or coastal waters.

Generated from Fauna Spotters significant-species screening library on 30 Oct 2026. Underlying source dates vary. Counts use mapped ranges and generalised distribution estimates, not a live ALA or WildNet records search. Marine-only profiles are excluded; coastal species may be included.

State and national conservation categories are shown separately. Priority and other conservation categories are not necessarily threatened listings. The total includes all significant fauna in the screening areas, including any adjacent jurisdictions. Listings may apply to only part of an area. Colonial breeding is an ecological grouping, not a threat status. Check individual profiles for listing details and source references.

Can you work on steep or remote Scenic Rim sites?

Yes. Our crews are used to steep ridges, creek crossings and rural access tracks, and carry the kit and communications needed for sites out of mobile range.

Yes. We supply dedicated Koala Spotters for projects inside mapped QLD koala habitat, in line with state koala conservation requirements.

Can you start at short notice?

Send the site, dates, shifts and approval conditions. We will check crew availability and any permissions before confirming a start.

What permissions apply in Queensland?

We hold the Rehabilitation permit (spotter catcher) and can supply licensed personnel across Queensland. The licence is issued by the Department of the Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation (DETSI) under the Nature Conservation Act 1992. Copies of licences, insurance and induction records are supplied with every quote. Tampering with an animal breeding place needs an approved Species Management Program, and clearing in mapped koala habitat needs a dedicated Koala Spotter under the Koala Conservation Plan.

Can you prepare a fauna management plan?

Yes. Share the clearing footprint, relevant approvals and any existing surveys. We will scope the plan and reporting requirements for your project.
