Great Koala National Park Proposed Boundaries Version 1

Version 1 of the proposed Great Koala National Park boundaries, approved by the GKNP Inter-agency Steering Committee and NSW Government ministers on 19 December 2025. The layer identifies areas proposed for inclusion in the park versus those to remain as State forest, including areas outside the original assessment area. Area measurements in hectares are provided for each dedicated State forest parcel.

Use Cases

• Assess the proposed park's spatial footprint based on the described boundary refinements.
• Analyze changes in land tenure between State forest and protected area based on the described classification.
• Calculate total area of proposed conservation zones using the provided hectare measurements.
• Model habitat connectivity for koalas based on the proposed park boundaries.

Strengths

• Boundaries are spatially aligned with gazetted State forest tenure for topological consistency.
• Includes area measurements in hectares for each proposed parcel.
• Explicit versioning (Version 1) with a defined approval date of 19 December 2025.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is described as a proposed version, with refinements expected prior to final reservation.
