"The fact that the Redbank proposal has progressed this far through the NSW planning process should be a wake-up call for the need to ensure that climate, energy and biodiversity assessment frameworks are fit for the purpose of addressing the inter-linked climate and biodiversity crises."

There are an estimated 36,000 Greater Gliders remaining in the Great Koala National Park assessment area.

“It is simply unreasonable that this should go on any longer, when, after all, there is a standing promise made three times that the larger koala national park will be created.”
