The proposal would provide $80 million in 2025-26 to establish the 315,000-hectare Great Koala National Park (GKNP) in New South Wales (NSW) as outlined in the Greens' Great Koala Protected Area Bill 2021. The GKNP would permanently protect high-conservation value forests and critical koala habitat from native forest logging.

Any departmental costs would be met from within the capped amount.

The proposal would be non-ongoing and start from 1 July 2025.
