Description: The Map of Assessable Development Area (Version 1.1) maps the areas where the development assessment requirements of the South East Queensland Koala Conservation State Planning Regulatory Provisions apply. The Map of Assessable Development Area relates only to land within the seven eastern local government areas of South East Queensland (Sunshine Coast, Moreton Bay, Brisbane, Redland, Ipswich, Gold Coast and Logan). This Assessable Development Area includes 'priority koala assessable development areas' and 'koala assessable development areas'. This mapping helps determine the applicable division under the SPRP that applies to a particular development application.
