The outcome of a legal challenge over the shooting operation of wild horses in Kosciuszko National Park during winter will be handed down at a later date.

Brumby advocates Matthew Holland and Roxanne Phoenix are pursuing a civil case against the secretary of the Department of Climate Change, Energy, Environment and Water.

In the Land and Environment Court yesterday, lawyers representing the applicants alleged shooters acted independently of the secretary between June 9 and July 11, which they arged was outside of the provisions of the management plan.

Lawyers for the respondent argued the shooters served as agents for the secretary, had legal authority and a duty to remove the horses under the management plan.

Community preschools on the far south coast fear a new state government funding model could lead to poorer outcomes for children and staff.

The government's Universal Preschool Funding Program aims to maximise enrolment opportunities and make preschool more affordable for families.

However, Narooma Preschool director Kristy Hall said the model would reduce funding while capping fees, potentially forcing staff cuts and compromising care.

Ms Hall said the not-for-profit preschool would lose $70,000 next year and $170,000 by 2028 — 20 per cent of its budget.

She said the centre will likely need to cut three educator positions and its resource budget.
