The Brisbane Koala Bushlands are a series of protected areas in the south east corner of the Brisbane local government area in Queensland, Australia. The area is intended to protect significant koala habitat. The bushlands are part of the Koala Coast which covers a wider area that is home to thousands of koalas. The bushlands were founded in 1992.
