New landholders protecting habitat in Sunshine Coast

In late 2024, QTFN sold a 23.58-hectare property near Peachester to a couple committed to long-term land stewardship for koalas. Years of revegetation work have enhanced habitat quality, and the property is now permanently protected through a Conservation Covenant, securing refuge for native wildlife in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland.

The new owners shared their excitement about continuing this legacy:

“We saw this property as a chance to be part of something bigger — a living, breathing landscape that supports koalas and countless other species. It’s a privilege to help protect it.”

“With our background in animal ecology and wildlife rehabilitation, we are thrilled to have the opportunity to preserve, protect, and share this beautiful and unique property for years to come. Australia’s bushlands have remarkable flora and fauna, and is a true natural treasure, as such we are proud to contribute to its conservation. Purchasing this property ensures we will always have a place where we can be directly involved in protecting habitat—our shared passion.”
