$80 million is being invested by the NSW Government to protect koalas and secure their habitat in south-west Sydney. The 2023-24 NSW Budget provides $48 million to help establish a new national park along the Georges River between Long Point and Appin, which will eventually cover up to 1830 hectares. The suburbs of Long Point, Ingleburn, Minto Heights, Kentlyn, Airds, St Helens Park, Gilead and Appin will host the new park. The investment will accelerate the addition of more than 1000 hectares of public land to the NSW national park system within the next 3 years.
