1220. Hon Robin Chappie to the Minister for Environment

I refer to the Auditor-General's Rich and Rare: Conservation of follow- up audit, released in September 2017, and ask: (a) will the Minister please provide a list of the names of all existing recovery plans for: (i) species; (ii) animal species; and (iii) ecological communities; (b) in relation to (a), for each plan, will the Minister please list: (i) the date the plan was approved; (ii) whether it is an interim or 'full' plan; (iii) the period of time in years that the plan is to cover; and (iv) the amount of funding currently allocated to the plan including by item, funding derived from: (A) Commonwealth Government; (B) State Government; and (C) offsets; (c) what action does the Minister propose to take regarding out of date recovery plans for threatened species and ecological communities; (d) what is the date of the last time that an addition was made to the list of Threatened Ecological Communities in Western ; (e) how many ecological communities have been recommended for listing as 'threatened' by the Threatened Ecological Communities Scientific Committee but have yet to have had their status listed as such; (f) will the Minister please list the names of all the threatened: (i) plant species; (ii) animal species; and (iii) ecological communities; and (g) for which there is no recovery plan, and for each item, please list the threat status?

Answer

(a)(i)-(iii) See tabled paper X.

(b)(i)-(ii) See tabled paper X.

(b)(iii) Interim recovery plans are prepared for a five-year implementation period and full recovery plans are prepared for a ten-year implementation period. However, plans remain in operation until cancelled or replaced. (b)(iv) Recovery plans are not individually funded. Implementation of recovery actions is undertaken within priorities set by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions in consultation with recovery teams with actions undertaken either specifically for particular species and ecological communities, or as part of broader landscape management approaches.

(c) Recovery plans remain in operation until cancelled or replaced and are revised when required.

(d) 2002.

(e) Thirty-five. Since 2002, subsequent Ministers for Environment have recognised that a formal mechanism for the listing of Threatened Ecological Communities (TECs) was proposed to occur with the proclamation of a new Biodiversity Conservation Act and have taken the position not to list any further TECs until the Act was in force.

(f)(i)-(iii) See tabled paper X.

(g) See tabled paper X.
