The New South Wales Greens and community groups have raised concerns about a Minns government plan to suspend logging operations in just 5% of its promised great koala national park while it consults experts and industry about the proposal.
The Greens environment spokesperson, Sue Higginson, has also warned that the more than 12-month process announced by the environment minister, Penny Sharpe, on Tuesday could leave important habitat areas without any protection until 2025.
