Brisbane’s unique flora and fauna have become the focus of the Council election campaign, with Labor committing to a three pillared urban wildlife policy.
Lord Mayor hopeful Tracey Price says she’ll work hand-in-hand with the many creek conservation and bush care groups across Brisbane’s suburbs to ensure they’re supported.
The announcement focuses on habitat and wildlife protection, as well as the eradication of pest species.
Brisbane Labor will implement necessary speed limit reductions and wildlife fencing where required to ensure koalas and other native animals are protected. They’ve also revealed plans to plant 2 million trees to provide a habitat for wildlife.
The eradication of pest species will look at plants that threaten other native plants and animals.
On the other side, Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner and the LNP have announced their plan to support wildlife, saying they’ll reintroduce koalas into bushland areas across the city.
Tracey’s website has the full list of measures her Labor team have outlined in their plan to protect Brisbane’s natural assets in their Climate and Waste Policy, as well as more information about Tracey and her plans to deliver more for Brisbane.
