Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is a housekeeping decision by the Environment Minister to tidy up outdated wildlife protection rules.

What it does The instrument formally cancels four old recovery plans (government documents that set out how to protect and recover threatened species) because new plans have been created to replace them.

Which species are affected

Trout Cod (a fish)
Sunshine Diuris (an endangered orchid)
Southern Cassowary (a large flightless bird)
Mahogany Glider (a possum)

Why it matters Without this formal repeal, the old plans (adopted in 2001) would technically still exist alongside the new ones, creating confusion about which protection rules actually apply. This ensures only the current recovery plans are legally active for these four species.
