We demand the Minns NSW Government keep its election promise to formally gazette the complete, as-promised Great Koala National Park before the end of their first term in office.

The NSW government have been constantly amending the boundaries of the Great Koala National Park to the detriment of koalas.  First they dropped out the critical Forest Bridge: Pine Creek, Tuckers Nob and Orara State Forest; and now they have downgraded 23,000 hectares of the best coastal koala habitat to unprotected Regional Park. 

We will hold the government accountable to every single tree in the original Park footprint. 

For years, the government has delayed the creation of this park, which is vital for protecting our endangered koalas.

When the federal government passed the INFM carbon offset scheme, Premier Chris Minns ran out of excuses.  We, the people of Australia, still maintain that using our wild koalas for carbon credits is a dangerous precedent. 

The time for delay is over.

Eucalyptus forests are the only home koalas have, providing essential food, shade, water, and protection from predators. Climate change, habitat destruction, and land clearing continue to pose a massive threat to their survival. We cannot afford any more legislative stalling, compromise, or carved-out boundaries.

The NSW Labor Government promised a world-class reserve to save koalas from extinction in the wild. A moratorium on paper is not enough; wild koalas need the permanent, legal protection that only formal gazettal provides. 

Our Call to Action: NSW Premier Chris Minns must amend the legislation tabled on 13 October to include all promised areas as fully-protected National Park, including the Forest Bridge: Pine Creek, Tuckers Nob and Orara SF and formally gazette the Great Koala National Park before the end of this term.

Sign the petition today to demand real protection for wild koalas.
