My Community Project – Fit Out of Koala Hospital Building (Update)
Port Stephens Koalas has won $200,000 in much needed funding to fit out the Koala Hospital at the new Port Stephens Koala Sanctuary currently under construction at One Mile beach.
Our project was a runaway winner in the program determined by community vote reflecting how strongly the community are supporting us in our never ending battle to save the fast diminishing koala population.
The dedication and commitment shown by PSK volunteers is justly rewarded by this outcome. Its is hoped the hospital will be opened and commissioned by March 2020 as part of the overall Koala Sanctuary Project.
Whilst significant and much appreciated capital funding has been provided by Port Stephens Council and the NSW Government PSK remains solely responsible for raising its own operating expenses which last year exceeded $130k
