The Protected areas of New South Wales include both terrestrial and marine protected areas. As of June 2020 there are 225 national parks in New South Wales.[1]
As of 30 June 2010 there were 776 separate terrestrial protected areas with a total land area of 6,641,256 hectares (16,410,900 acres) (8.29% of the state’s area). At that time there were 18 aquatic protected areas with a total area of 347,087 hectares (857,670 acres).[2]
New conservation area
In June 2020 the Government of New South Wales acquired 153,415 ha (379,100 acres),[3] or 1,534 km2 (592 sq mi)[4] of private land for a new national park, when it purchased Narriearra station in the state’s far north-west.[3] It is the largest ever purchase of private land for conservation in the state,[4] and provides 90 percent of the habitat of the endangered grey grasswren. The Dingo Fence on the border with Queensland forms the northern boundary of the property.[5]
