Have Your Say!

 

I'd love to hear your feedback on recreational areas in the newly declared, Great Koala National Park.

The Great Koala National Park will provide habitat for more than 100 threatened species, including more than 12,000 koalas and 36,000 greater gliders. The park will also create opportunities for better visitor experiences and recreation, boosting tourism and local economies. This is your chance to shape the future of the park by having your say in the use of state forests in its planned areas.

Open until 1st March, 2026.

NSW’s State Fish, the Eastern Blue Groper, will continue being protected

28 February, 2025

The NSW Government has officially made the protection of the Eastern Blue Groper permanent, securing the future of the state’s beloved aquatic emblem. Building on temporary measures introduced earlier this year, the reform ensures that this iconic species is shielded from all forms of fishing across NSW, preserving local biodiversity for generations to come.

This decision is designed to be conservation-first, reflecting a commitment to safeguarding our unique marine environment while ensuring that NSW’s coastal waters remain a vibrant destination for divers, snorkelers, and nature enthusiasts alike.
