An e-petition launched by south coast resident Takesa Frank earlier this year received more than 21,000 signatures, forcing the lower house to debate the subject.

Minister for Agriculture Dugald Saunders responded to the petition on September 13 rejecting the call to end native forest logging.

"The NSW Government disagrees with each of the above proposals [in the petition] and continues to support the sustainable management of our forests in NSW," Mr Saunders said.

Shoalhaven City Council voted down a motion to support calling for an end to native forest logging in October.

Eurobodalla Shire Council voted to advocate for a transition away from native forest logging but avoided condemning logging as environmentally or economically unsustainable when they voted on a similar motion in August.
