Jimboomba Times dated 18 March 2009 covered the community workshop."If we have this development, we have to have benchmarks, some ecological balances."
Ms Faldt said the devil was in the detail. "If you only read the introduction to the plan, the rhetoric is wonderful, but the reality does not match the rhetoric," she said.
"They have to walk the talk. We had a couple of concerns with the koala mapping.
"Unless an area is included on the koala mapping, that section of land is not protected from development.
"We have 300 sightings of koalas in the north Beaudesert area.
"Unless that area is mapped, they are not protected.
In the Scenic Rim area, there's no mapping happening."
Ms Faldt urged residents to offer feedback on the plan which will be accepted until April 3.

More from the organisers......
Chairperson was David Keogh from Logan Wildlife. Other speakers on the day were Ted Fensom, Anne Page and Brooke Hinch. All speakers have many environmental credentials and have been actively advocating for many years for protection of quality habitat, connected corridors of habitat which provides unrestricted safe landscape for natve fauna to move, meet and mate and also a clean environment for all creaures including we humans.
Cr Graham Able's opening address was largely about the excessive consumption and wasteful practices of our society which are unsustainable - but driving all this proposed expanded development.
We hope to follow this workshop with others on climate change, transport especially, and ways to reduce our energy use and save money, growing locally and of course more wildlife and vegetation workshops. We are happy to take your requests for topics for discussion or sharing knowledge.
