EcoNetwork is a Port Stephens based conservation and natural heritage network.

Our vision is for an eco-oriented culture for sustainable communities and the transfer of intact eco-systems to future generations.

To that end we are committed to the conservation of terrestrial and marine environments and to addressing the excesses of developers and government.

Founded in March, 1993, EcoNetwork-Port Stephens Inc. now comprises 22 community, environmental and eco-tourism groups including Port Stephens Tourism Limited, eco-tourism businesses, local and regional conservationists, and concerned individuals.

We have played a major role in many successful projects, including:

- expansion of Tomaree National Park (896 to 2,274 hectares)

- conservation of remnant bushland (Wanda, Mambo Westlands) and koala habitat

- Port Stephens Council’s Energy Smart Homes Program

- marine ecosystem and waterways protection, including six free vessel sewerage pump-outs.
