Brisbane Koala Habitat Areas from City Plan 2014 Biodiversity Overlay

A Brisbane City Council dataset from the City Plan 2014 Biodiversity areas overlay, specifically mapping koala habitat areas. The data is maintained by the Brisbane City Council and was last updated on 2026-06-28. It is available under a CC-BY-4.0 license from the data_gov_au platform.

Use Cases

• Assess development proposals for potential impacts on koala habitat based on the defined overlay sub-category.
• Model and map critical koala habitat corridors for conservation planning based on the biodiversity overlay.
• Inform strategic land-use planning and policy decisions by integrating the koala habitat area data with other spatial layers.

Strengths

• Data is tied to a formal planning instrument (Brisbane City Plan 2014), suggesting regulatory relevance.
• Specific sub-category (Koala habitat area) is clearly defined within the broader biodiversity overlay.
• Last update timestamp (2026-06-28 15:25:35.411510) is provided for recency assessment.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and spatial extent are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified as the update date is in the future (2026).
