This report provides a summary of the activities and the key issues raised by stakeholders and community members during the three month engagement program that ran from 4 December 2016 to 3 March 2017. Engagement methods included meetings and workshops with community organisations, industry groups and local councils, seven regional community information sessions, an online information session and a webpage with information and a submissions portal.
Stakeholders and community members were invited to make written submissions on what to include in a NSW Koala Strategy and to share local koala experiences through an interactive online map. The program also sought community feedback on the draft Saving our Species (SoS) Iconic Koala Project Priorities Action Statement (PAS) for the koala. The two consultation processes were run in parallel, recognising that the SoS koala project will form an important part of the NSW Koala Strategy.
