16 Mar 2026 Forestry Corporation of NSWForestry Corporation of NSW: AUD 450,000 over illegally felled giant and hollow trees €276,549
In June and July 2020 contractors of the state-owned forestry corporation felled six giant trees and three hollow-bearing trees in Wild Cattle Creek State Forest near Coffs Harbour that should have been retained under the Coastal Integrated Forestry Operation Approval. On the EPA’s prosecution, the Land and Environment Court convicted the corporation and found harm to koala habitat and cultural harm to the Gumbaynggirr people; following a restorative justice conference, the AUD 450,000 penalty goes to the Yurruungga Aboriginal Corporation for remediation projects. The corporation must also commission an independent audit of its procedures and publish the conviction.
Anyone contracting out forestry work remains responsible for identifying protected trees and must align planning and training accordingly.
