Push to turn NSW south coast into state's largest national park

The National Parks Association of NSW proposed the creation of the Great Southern Forest National Park, stretching almost 1.2 million hectares from the Illawarra to the Victorian border. This plan combines 824,000 hectares of existing national parks with 365,000 hectares of state forest, aiming to protect vital ecosystems and potentially generate $270 million in carbon credits over 15 years.
