The Minns Labor Government and Albanese Federal Government has announced the next major step to deliver the Great Koala National Park, delivering on a key election commitment to protect koalas in the wild.
This announcement includes:
- The proposed boundary for the Great Koala National Park
- An immediate moratorium on timber harvesting within this proposed boundary
- A comprehensive worker and industry support package
- $6m in community and small business supports for the mid-north coast region
- An additional $60 million to establish the park
The GKNP will reserve 176,000 hectares of state forest and connect with existing national parks to create a 476,000-hectare reserve – one of the largest in NSW.
This park will protect over 12,000 koalas, 36,000 Greater Gliders and habitat for over 100 other threatened species.
Horrifyingly, the NSW Liberals and Nationals have refused to support the Great Koala National Park.
The NSW Coalition is playing politics with the future survival of Koalas and native forests.
We need your support. Sign the petition below to demand that the NSW Liberals and Nationals support the Great Koala National Park.
