What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Forestry Corporation NSW (FCNSW) announced plans to cut more than 50 jobs across the state, affecting management, office, and field roles. The organization stated that the decision to slash 32 jobs in Coffs Harbour was related to the impacts of the proposed Great Koala National Park (GKNP). The GKNP is expected to move management of 176,000 hectares from state forests to national parks, leading to reduced harvest volumes and operations for FCNSW. Additionally, 19 jobs are being cut in response to financial challenges, including a weak softwood timber market.
