HKPS VISION STATEMENT - Hunter Koala Preservation Society Inc. is dedicated to the preservation of the Tilligerry and Tomaree Peninsulas (Port Stephens) koalas and conservation of their habitat.


HKPS MISSION STATEMENT - The Hunter Koala Preservation Society Inc. is determined to care and rehabilitate the Tilligerry and Tomaree Peninsulas, sick and/or injured koalas and their habitat. They are focused on the delivery of a professional and consistent service, and ongoing public education.


HISTORY - Formed in June 1987, the Hunter Koala Preservation Society’s aim is to assist with the management and preservation of the Port Stephens koala population.


The main impetus for the formation of the Society was the continual threat to koalas from impending urban development and sand mining resulting in the loss of their habitat. Increasing numbers of road accidents, dog attacks and diseases have contributed to the need to protect the native koala population.
 

The Society, along with the National parks and Wildlife Service, Port Stephens Council and the Australian Koala Foundation has established a Comprehensive Koala Plan of Management for Port Stephens.
