Great Koala National Park

The Great Koala National Park is a proposed national park in New South Wales, Australia which aims to create a sanctuary for koalas as they are an endangered native species. On its proposed boundaries, the national park will be located on the North Coast of New South Wales passing through towns including Kempsey, Nambucca Heads, Coffs Harbour, Woolgoolga and Sawtell. This park will protect 176,000 hectares of state forests and merge existing reserves. The park will be inhabited by koalas and many other threatened species including greater gliders, glossy black cockatoos and many rare plants including species of spider orchid. The boundaries are due to be formalised in the government gazette in late-2026. The government is creating this national park in order to fulfil an election commitment made in 2023.
