DEAR News Of The Area,
HAS the Coffs Coast just become the koala capital of Australia?
As a City representative of the Great Koala National Park’s Community Advisory Panel and longtime community campaigner for the Parks establishment, I believe the announcement for the full Great Koala National Park is a major historic moment for our region.
For Coffs Harbour, the park brings significant long-term benefits through economic and conservation opportunities.
The initiative will create new jobs in park management, tourism, and cultural heritage, while enhancing environmental education and recreational opportunities.
This Park’s announcement marks a major step toward securing the future of NSW’s iconic koalas and building a sustainable future for our local community.
I believe the Coffs Coast can now claim that we are the koala capital of Australia.
Kind regards,
Councillor Jonathan CASSELL.
