Where new information on the distribution, population size or ecology of threatened flora and fauna suggests that the species allocation to a particular condition of the Threatened Species Licence needs to be reviewed, NPWS and SFNSW will undertake such a review. Details the process to be followed when an important new record of a species in the area is found. Agencies to notify each other of any proposal to nominate for listing or delisting of any species, populations, ecological communities or key threatening processes. The IFOA provides a review process to deal with changes to threatened species schedules. Notify NPWS/SFNSW of listing and delisting of threatened species, populations, etc., and review IFOA for changes to schedules on Threatened Species Licence. Review IFOA for changes to schedules on Threatened Species Licence. Development of a process for the assessment of new records of threatened species, populations and ecological communities not already covered by licences, whereby the conservation requirements of the species are assessed. Additionally, where the application of TSL conditions results in 20% or more of the net logging area of a compartment being made unavailable because of exclusion zones, Forests NSW may request that PWG review the conditions. Implemented Refer to milestone above. Implemented A process was implemented in 1999–2000 that mirrors the one adopted for species newly listed in schedules of the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (stipulated in condition 1.3 of Appendix B and Appendix C in the IFOA for the Southern region). A process is also in place for the review of certain fauna conditions of the TSLs, which includes the exchange and assessment of new information by DECC, Forests NSW and, where appropriate, independent experts. Recommendations from such reviews are provided to the relevant Ministers for approval as they arise. Implemented DECC has put in place a process for species requiring site-specific conditions that are listed in the Integrated Forestry Operations Approvals (IFOAs) (condition 1.2 of Appendix B in the IFOAs for the UNE, LNE and Eden regions, and condition 1.2 of Appendices B and C of the IFOA for the Southern region). IFOAs also have a non-licence condition that provides for taking new information into account (clause 49 of the IFOAs for the UNE, LNE and Eden regions and clause 64 for the Southern region). Implemented This Forests NSW process is included in provisions of the IFOAs. DECC notification occurs as required. DECC routinely notifies Forests NSW of preliminary and final determinations made by the Scientific Committee for the listing of species in schedules of the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. DECC is not permitted to provide information on non-DECC proposals for listings or delistings until the Scientific Committee has made at least a preliminary determination. Implemented Refer to milestone above. Implemented Refer to milestone above. Implemented Implemented by a process in the IFOAs covering species requiring site-specific conditions and proposed new listings in the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (conditions 1.2 and 1.3 of the Threatened Species Licences in appendix B of the IFOA for the UNE, LNE and Eden regions and Appendices B and C in the IFOA for the Southern Region).

Conservation requirements must be developed and implemented for new records of threatened species, populations and ecological populations and IFOA must be reviewed. A process must be developed and implemented whereby the conservation requirements of a species new to science are assessed. The IFOA provides a review mechanism. Details the process to be followed when a species new to science is found. Implement stated process when species new to science are found. Conservation requirements must be developed and implemented for species new to science and IFOA must be reviewed. Cooperation over non-licence components of the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995, such as nomination of species, populations, ecological communities and key threatening processes, recovery plans, threat abatement plans and critical habitat. Preparation of cooperative approaches for non-licence components of the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 and Fisheries Management Act 1994, such as nomination of species, populations, ecological communities and key threatening processes, recovery plans, threat abatement plans and critical habitat. Implemented Section 1.2 of the TSL is being applied when a new listing occurs or when a species are detected without a species specific prescription within the TSL, for example for the gang gang cockatoo. Implemented This is an ongoing requirement. Implemented The process mirrors that adopted for species newly listed in schedules of the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (stipulated in condition 1.3 of Appendix B in the Eden, UNE, LNE and Southern IFOAs and also Appendix C in the Southern IFOA). Implemented Refer to milestone reported also in 2.4.4.1 above. Implemented The stated process is implemented if required. Implemented The process mirrors that adopted for species newly listed in schedules of the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (stipulated in condition 1.3 of Appendix B in the Eden, UNE, LNE and Southern IFOAs and also Appendix C in the Southern IFOA). Implemented Cooperation continues as necessary. For instance, various recovery plans and threat abatement plans being prepared by DECC involve Forests NSW through provision of Forests NSW expertise; representation on recovery teams; implementation of specific actions by Forests NSW; and consultation during the drafting and public exhibition of plans. Implemented Refer to milestone above. NSW FOREST AGREEMENTS AND INTEGRATED FORESTRY OPERATIONS APPROVALS 101
