Nature Conservation Council NSW
Key Facts:
- Legislation to establish the Great Koala National Park has passed in NSW after more than a decade of campaigning, protecting over 178,000 hectares of former state forest and creating a connected network of protected forests spanning more than 475,000 hectares on the Mid North Coast.
- The park will safeguard habitat for an estimated 12,000 koalas, 36,000 greater gliders, and more than 100 threatened species, whilst reducing native forest logging in NSW by approximately 20%.
- The park will include new walking trails, campsites, and recreational opportunities alongside strict protections for sensitive ecosystems, with safeguards in place to prevent grazing leases from returning to protected areas.
