Affected interests

Organisations likely to be affected by the actions proposed in this Plan include: government agencies (Commonwealth, state and territory, local), particularly those involved with coastal environments and conservation programs; Indigenous land and sea management groups (including ranger programmes); researchers; bird watching groups; conservation groups; wildlife interest groups; 4WD and fishing groups; environmental consulting companies; tourism operators; industry and commercial bodies; and, proponents of coastal development in the vicinity of important habitat.

However, this list should not be considered exhaustive, as there may be other interest groups that may like to be included in the future or need to be considered when specialised tasks are required.

The following table lists some of the interest groups, how they could contribute to the success of the plan and the potential benefits/impacts that may emerge from the Plan’s implementation:
