Minister for Climate Change and the Environment, Penny Sharpe, visited union delegates at PSA House in May.

NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service delegates raised a range of issues with the Minister.

Issues included a decline in the number of Rangers in National Parks, the establishment of the Great Koala Park on the Mid North Coast, the roles of administrative staff, the enclosures to keep feral animals at bay, the beleaguered MyWorkZone system and law enforcement powers.

“What was encouraging in meeting with the Minister was the acknowledgement given to our delegates and all members in thanking them for the incredible work that they do in managing a system that is world class,” said PSA Assistant General Secretary Troy Wright. “She acknowledges our members were custodians supporting our national parks across the state.

“Minister Sharpe has agreed to look further into the issues tabled by the PSA and to work with us to resolve them.”
