In one of the press releases of the committee, they stated, “Since the establishment of the Kokoda Initiative Program, there have been general public Kokoda Track Community forum workshops from the CEPA (PNG Conservation and Environment Protection Authority).” The committee continued to explain, “There is no detailed reporting in terms of funding expenditure which provides some area of concern in terms of their expenditures that require detailed explanation for general public comprehension at present.”

Their complaints also stemmed from the fact that landowners were owed over $1.5 million dollars by PNG’s government. The said amount is part of the funding for them and for the site from the Australian government.
