The NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) has extended a Stop Work Order until 13 November 2023 to cease harvesting in parts of the Tallaganda State Forest by Forestry Corporation of NSW (FCNSW). An initial Stop Work Order was issued to FCNSW by the EPA on 30 August 2023. Since then, the EPA has recorded 89 endangered Southern Greater Gliders and 20 den trees in areas subject to the Stop Work Order. Those areas had been earmarked for harvesting or planned harvesting operations. The Stop Work Order requires FCNSW to continue to cease all harvesting, haulage operations, and any road and track construction work in the areas of concern in the Tallaganda State Forest.
