Yes — Queensland law protects breeding places of native wildlife. It’s an offence to tamper with an animal breeding place being used by a protected animal (e.g., possums, birds) without authority. If works may impact a breeding place, you may need an approved Species Management Program (SMP) or other permits. Engage a qualified arborist from ECTW and, where needed, a fauna spotter-catcher before works to inspect hollows, nests and roosts.
