The Queensland Environmental Law Association (QELA) is a multidisciplinary non-profit organisation.

QELA educates its members and non members about planning and environment law and issues concerning town planning and the natural environment. We provide forums for debating the law and relevant issues. Our representatives serve on many stakeholder committees reviewing legislation and government policy.
