2023 Sydney Basin Koala Campaign

With an over 20% decline of koala population in the Sydney bioregion in the last 20 years, our 5-point Sydney Basin Koala policy outlines the steps needed to halt their trajectory from endangered to extinct. The Sydney Basin Koala Policy is based on the best science and is intended to close the litany of loopholes in the law governing development, that is pushing the Koala towards extinction.
