Petition to: Redland City Council, Queensland

Enough is enough.

The Redlands is being carved up, sold off, and destroyed before our eyes. Natural habitats that took thousands of years to form are being cleared in months. Wildlife is being displaced, injured, and killed at a scale our community has never witnessed before.

This is not “progress.”
This is ecological destruction.

For decades, residents have raised their voices, asking for responsible planning, genuine environmental protection, and respect for the wildlife that makes the Redlands unique. Those voices have been ignored. Decisions have favoured developers over community, short-term profit over long-term survival, and political convenience over environmental responsibility.

We are saying no more.

We demand that Redland City Council:

Immediately halt further habitat destruction until genuine, enforceable wildlife protections are in place
Preserve large, continuous areas of habitat to allow wildlife to survive, not just exist in fragments
Mandate multiple wildlife crossings and land bridges across roads in all new developments, including for koalas, wallabies, possums, and other native species
Retrofit wildlife crossings in existing high-risk areas where animals are being killed
Adopt transparent, community-led planning processes that genuinely listen to residents
Demonstrate ethical leadership, free from conflicts of interest tied to property development
Protect the integrity of the Redlands identity — a council cannot claim the koala as its symbol while allowing its habitat to be destroyed
This is about our future

The Redlands should be a natural haven — a place where wildlife survives, children learn what nature truly is, and future generations inherit something better, not broken remnants.

We are not powerless.
We are watching.
We are organising.
We are speaking out.

If our elected leaders refuse to listen, we will make our voices impossible to ignore — through petitions, public protest, media engagement, and sustained community action.

Stop the chopping.
Stop the killing.
Stop the ecocide.

Protect the Redlands. Protect its wildlife. Protect our future.
