Proposed changes to conservation planning decisions

The Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment is working with the independent Threatened Species Scientific Committee to review previous recovery plan decisions to ensure that the most appropriate and effective plans are in place to guide collaborative investment and action, and regulatory decision making, for each listed entity.

The department is seeking your feedback on the proposed changes to the decision for each threatened species or ecological community (‘entities’). This initial public consultation period opens today, Friday 17 September 2021, and closes Tuesday 2 November 2021. You will find all the relevant information including the list of 28 ecological communities and 157 species (comprising 104 plant, 14 mammal, 19 bird, 3 fish, 3 frog, 6 invertebrate, and 8 reptile species) which are proposed for a subsequent recovery plan decision to not have a plan, on the Have Your Say consultation pages at: https://haveyoursay.awe.gov.au/recovery-plan-decisions.
