Forests for Everyone – petition

We Have A Once-in-a-Generation Opportunity

50,000 hectares of South East Qld bushland – more than 30,000 Gabba stadiums – sits in limbo.

These forests which are located from Noosa to the NSW border are already loved and used by thousands.  They’re where we hike, ride, camp and connect with nature. They’re also home to threatened species like the greater glider, spotted-tailed quoll, and glossy black cockatoo.

In late 2024, native logging officially ended across nearly 70,000 hectares of state forests in South East Queensland. It was a big step forward — but there is still no plan for around 50,000 hectares of that land

Without a decent plan, this public land faces an uncertain future — potentially neglected, restricted, or lost to short-term development.

We’re asking for:

• A public commitment to no future native forest logging in SEQ state forests
• A mix of Conservation and National Parks shaped with input from communities, Traditional Owners, tourism, and outdoor groups
• Funding for rangers and visitor infrastructure to ensure these new parks are welcoming, safe well-managed and fun.
