The NSW Koala Strategy

The NSW Government is developing a new Koala Conservation Strategy to guide the next phase of koala conservation in New South Wales. Delivered through the Saving our Species program, the new strategy will integrate koala conservation with broader efforts to protect threatened species across the state.

The draft Koala Conservation Strategy is now on public exhibition, and communities, landholders, conservation groups, Aboriginal stakeholders, government agencies and others with an interest in koala conservation are invited to have their say. To provide feedback, go to the Draft Koala Conservation Strategy webpage.

• restore and improve the management of koala habitat
• support local communities and develop strategic partnerships to conserve koalas
• improve the safety and health of koalas by reducing threats, improving health and rehabilitation, and establishing a translocation program
• support science and research to build our knowledge of koalas.
