Management objectives
The SoS strategy aims to secure the species in the wild for 100 years and maintain its conservation status under the BC Act.
The SoS strategy aims to secure the species in the wild in NSW for 100 years and maintain its conservation status under the BC Act. The SoS strategy also aims to engage local communities in the species' conservation and to encourage the NSW community to identify with it as a flagship for threatened species conservation.
This SoS strategy aims to secure this population in the long-term and maintain its conservation status under the
BC Act.
This SoS strategy aims to ensure the security of this species in the long-term and maintain its conservation status under the
BC Act.
This SoS strategy aims to ensure that the species is secure in the wild in NSW and that its NSW geographic range is extended or maintained and maintain its conservation status under the
BC Act.
This SoS strategy aims to secure critical populations of this species in NSW in the long-term and maintain its conservation status under the
BC Act.
The SoS strategy aims to secure this population in the long-term.
The SoS strategy aims to maximise the viability of the ecological community and maintain its conservation status under the
BC Act.
The SoS strategy aims to minimise current and future impacts of the key threatening process on priority biodiversity values, including threatened species and ecological integrity. This objective aligns with the
BC Act legislation.

Critical actions for this ecological community
The key threats to the viability of landscape-managed ecological communities are loss, fragmentation and degradation
of habitat, and widespread pervasive factors such as impacts of climate change. Many of these threats are
addressed by NSW planning, native vegetation, and biodiversity legislation, policy and programs including the
offsets program (BioBanking, NSW Biodiversity Offsets Policy for Major Projects), Biodiversity Certification,
management of environmental water and reservation under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974.
Threats to this ecological community are outlined
here.
The actions listed in the action toolbox are supplementary to NSW legislation, policy and programs and can be used by stakeholders, where applicable to guide management at a site, regional or state scale.
Action toolbox
| Identify wetlands which hold water longer and those that are at risk of drying out to target appropriate management actions. | Area, Site |
| Where the TEC occurs on private lands, consult with landholders about entering voluntary conservation agreements or other form of long-term, in perpetuity conservation/stewardship agreement. | Site |
| Provide land managers with information about fauna that depend on the TEC and how to identify TEC species as well as threats such as changing water regimes, clearing, damage caused by stock, planting non-indigenous species, runoff, and weeds. Develop tools such as video showing a wetland in poor condition and one in good condition in both wet and dry times. Also include the establishment of a demonstration site for the TEC. | Area, Site |
| Remove or minimise the impact of cattle trampling whilst accessing water through methods such as the installation of fencing to prevent access by stock where appropriate, or providing water sources away from the TEC without draining the water from the TEC. | Site, Area |
| Control wild pigs and goats damaging the TEC using appropriate methods such as mustering, trapping, baiting, aerial shooting. Consider options for fencing at certain sites. | Site, Area |
| Control wild horses by trapping and removal | Site, Area |
| Consult with land managers about preventing run off. In some sites, prevent access by closing and relocating roads so that they do not impact of the TEC. | Site, Area |
| Control Lippia according to the staged approach to weed control and with methods that reduce off-target damage. Encourage landholders/managers to engage in early weed identification and intervention, and to implement prevention measures using current best management practices. | Site, Area |
| Limit damage by recreational 4WDs and motorbikes through preventing access by installing physical barriers at certain locations such as Old Coghill Road. | Site |
How will this ecological community be managed?
Key management sites for this ecological community are being identified by the NSW Government and other program partners, where feasible, cost-effective and beneficial management actions can be undertaken.
Currently, no management sites have been identified for this ecological community.
