Save Woogaroo Forest

Located just 25km SW of Brisbane’s CBD on the doorstep of Springfield, Woogaroo Forest (420ha) is home to a rich variety of wildlife: over 130 bird species, Koalas, Platypus, Gliders, Echidnas, Frilled-neck Lizards and many other native species. 

Lamentably, this remnant forest is under threat of development. It needs your fighting support. 

STOP DEVELOPMENT IN WOOGAROO FOREST!

Two proposed developments are now open for submissions. The submissions are for the Minister for Environment and Water to reject the proposed development; in this case the Department have requested Saunders Havill the Springfield City Group representatives, collect the submissions. 

Learn more about these developments and how to make a submission using the two links below:

• Peninsula Precinct
• Scenic Precinct

Both submissions have now been extended to 9 January 2026, if you have previously made a submission before close of business Friday 12 December you must re-send them, as Saunders Havill had server issues and they were lost. Always copy your submissions to the parties suggested.

Please sign the petition below to the Minister for the Environment and Water and write letters to:

• your local Member of Parliament, 
• the Qld Environment Minister, and 
• the federal Environment Minister.
