The Queensland Koala Society has reported six koala deaths as a result of fox attacks in Mt Gravatt.

A Brisbane Labor councillor is accusing the Lord Mayor of ignoring pleas for help from local koala groups.

Moorooka Ward Councillor Steve Griffiths told Gary Hardgrave on 4BC Drive, “Queensland Koala Society have made these reports to council, [and] haven’t got any response from council and are not seeing any action from council.”

The Lord Mayor’s office has stated, “Cr Griffiths has not contacted council regarding this matter. Our pest management team have today reached out to Mt Gravatt Tafe to offer assistance if it is required.”
