The Minns government has criticised the previous Coalition government for failing to accurately count koala numbers in New South Wales.
For the past month, a major surveying exercise of the endangered animals has been taking place at 1,000 sites across the state.
It's uncovered a new population of 42 koalas at Coolah Tops, north west of Sydney, when the previous government only had five documented koala sightings in the area over the past 70 years.
