Description: A DRAFT (public version) Koala Reserves and Forest Transfers (May 2018) layer shows outcomes specific to the NSW Koala Strategy, including the portions that will become part of the existing NPWS estate network. The Koala Strategy builds on the work implemented through the Saving our Species Iconic Koala Project through aligning efforts across all government agencies much more broadly. The Strategy will also benefit other native species and NSW landscapes through actions that include: - setting aside more than 20,000 hectares of state forest on the Central Coast, Southern Highlands, North Coast, Hawkesbury and Hunter with koala habitat as new koala reserves - transferring over 4,000 hectares of native forest on the Mid North Coast with koala habitat to the national parks estate More specifically the government announced the transfer of over 40,000 hectares of state forest to the care of NPWS to improve conservation management while maintaining access for recreation: - 24,000 hectares of new koala reserves as part of the NSW Koala Strategy, representing 4,000 hectares to be added to the national parks system and 20,000 hectares to be established as flora reserves - an additional 16,700 hectares, representing 2,500 hectares to be added to the national parks system and 14,200 hectares to be established as flora reserves. The transfers include: (i) additions to the national park estate under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974; and (ii) the appointment of NPWS as land manager of some flora reserves under the Forestry Act 2012. The boundaries of all the transfers are still being finalised and will vary from those in this dataset. This will be a progressive task and probably will not be finalised in total until the end of 2018. The NPWS-managed flora reserves will ultimately be included in the ‘NPWS_ManagedLandOther’ layer similar to the far south coast flora reserves that NPWS already manage. NB. In the dataset it should be clear from the attribute table which parcels are associated with the NSW Koala Strategy.
