The Great Koala National Park
The Greens-led Bellingen Council have been seeking community input and feedback on a variety of plans, all of which drive the work of Council. That input has given Council the confidence to be an active and vocal supporter of the establishment of the Great Koala National Park.
Bellingen Council has developed a Strategic Planning Statement – 2020-2040, in which People of the Gumbaynggirr language have described their vision for Bellingen.
