These include: (i) protection within the CAR Reserve System; (ii) protection of key habitat components using the Integrated Forestry Operations Approval; (iii) protection of key habitats such as rainforest, heaths, swamps and other wet communities, rocky outcrops and rare ecological communities; and (iv) the development of Recovery Plans for species, populations and communities listed under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (NSW) and the Endangered Species Protection Act 1992 (C’wth).

Parties note that the list at Table 1. is indicative only and timeframes are dependent upon funding. These priorities may change and new priorities may arise in response to additional information, funding etc. Where Recovery Plans under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (NSW) meet the requirements of the Endangered Species Protection Act 1992 (C’wth), the Commonwealth will consider adopting them under Section 46 of the Endangered Species Protection Act 1992 (C’wth). Threatening Processes Threat Abatement Plans under the Endangered Species Protection Act 1992 (C’wth) for Predation by the Feral Cat and Predation by the European Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) have been finalised and approved by the Minister. Other priorities for Threat Abatement Plans under the Act include Competition and Land Degradation by the European Rabbit, Competition and Land Degradation by the Feral Goat, and Dieback caused by the root-rot fungus (Phytopthera cinnamoni).
