Koala Habitat Concerns Raised Over Ormiston College Expansion

Environmental groups and residents have voiced concern over Ormiston College’s proposed expansion in Ormiston, which could result in the removal of more than 600 mature koala trees.

Read: Parents Raise Concerns Over Year 7 Letter at Ormiston College

Expansion Plans

Plans to expand Ormiston College in the Redlands have drawn widespread community opposition, with concerns that the development could affect critical koala habitat. Environmental advocates say the land involved is mapped as part of a koala priority zone.

The proposal has been discussed for several years, with community objections focusing on the use of a Ministerial Infrastructure Designation (MID) that allows the project to bypass local planning processes. ABC Radio Brisbane reported on 24 September 2025 that environmental groups believe the development could lead to the removal of more than 600 mature trees.

Environmental Concerns

The Koala Action Group Redlands estimates that the clearing would significantly reduce suitable habitat for the area’s koala population. Redlands2030 submissions stated that mature trees take decades to reach ecological value, warning that seedlings would not provide immediate benefit.

The school’s ecological consultants described the site as having low koala activity and proposed to plant replacement trees. Environmental groups disagree, arguing that habitat loss continues to drive the decline of koalas in the Redlands region.

Community Sentiment

More than 500 objections were submitted in September 2025, many through Redlands2030. Residents expressed frustration that the use of an MID bypassed normal community consultation.

Locals also raised concern about increased risks to koalas from vehicle strikes and dog attacks near Old Cleveland Road East, where habitat trees are to be removed. Several residents described a visible decline in local koala numbers over recent years.

On social media, community members questioned the value of offset planting and said major expansions should not come at the expense of local wildlife and amenity.

School Response

The Ormiston College principal stated that ecological experts had assessed the area as having low koala presence and that the school would plant more trees to offset clearing.

Environmental and community groups remain unconvinced, urging for reconsideration of the plan and calling for habitat protection within Ormiston’s remaining bushland areas.

Outlook

As of late September 2025, conservation groups and residents continue urging protection of existing koala habitats in Ormiston and surrounding parts of the Redlands. The Ministerial Infrastructure Designation process will determine if the expansion is approved.
