The latest issue of EAZA Zooquaria has an article about Copenhagen Zoo and their Tasmanian devils.
Working with the Australian government they have set up an EEP programme so more zoos will be getting them in the near future.
Apparently there have been three holders already approved within Europe, although it doesn't mention who they might be.
Here's a link for anyone interested:

The stuff about the devils is on page 8.

Is there any statements that New Zealand will get koalas from the close Australia?
I am pretty Wellington Zoo in NZ has tassie devils.
I know that this thread is very old but in case you haven’t seen it on the Saitama Childrens Zoo thread, SCZ just got a pair of quokkas. Are these the first quokkas exhibited outside of Australia?

No - at least 16 European zoos have kept them. I've personally seen them at Blackpool.
I see... are there still any quokkas left in Europe?
No London Zoo exhibited quokkas as long ago as 1878. And one was born there in 1921.

I'm pretty sure the Blackpool animals were the last in the UK.
'Former Holders' on ZooTierListe should tell you more about when the others died out.

According to this tweet, Ueno acquired a breeding pair of quokkas and had a baby. All three animals were destroyed by wild dogs entering the enclosure.

Omaha no longer has them, unfortunately. I have no clue where they are now.
There's only a single koala in Brazil. It's a female held by São Paulo aquarium named Princess Julie. Her mate and their joey died between 2019 and 2020 because of a fungal infection.
At the same aquarium, there are two common wombats and three short-beaked echidnas. From the Land Down Under, Brazilian zoos also hold red kangaroos (São Paulo aquarium, Animália Park and Bauru zoo) and Bennett's wallabies (Itatiba).
I believe more koalas could be coming to Animália Park (Cotia) in a close future, as IBAMA released a permit for them to import koalas from San Diego.
