THE NSW government's plan to allow hunting of feral animals in the state's national parks is set to cost taxpayers at least an extra $19 million.
Environment Minister Robyn Parker on Wednesday is set to announce the program's funding over five years, Fairfax reports.
The money will go towards 14 additional National Parks and Wildlife Service coordinators, new safety and regulatory signs, training of staff and education programs for shooters.
It would also fund compliance and education positions and extra resources for "monitoring and review to ensure the program has a positive impact on feral animal populations in our protected areas".
Premier Barry O'Farrell confirmed on Tuesday that ongoing discussions on risk assessment meant the program has been delayed to start in April.
The plan is part of a deal with the Shooters and Fishers Party, which saw the government pass legislation to allow recreational hunters to cull feral animals in the state's 79 national parks.
The controversial move has raised concerns that visitors to parks risk being accidentally shot by hunters.
