Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This instrument revokes the Commonwealth adoption of a 1995 Western Australian recovery plan and adopts Western Australia’s 2015 recovery plan as the EPBC Act recovery plan for the White‑bellied and Orange‑bellied frogs (Geocrinia alba and Geocrinia vitellina). The change is made by the Minister’s delegate under the Acts Interpretation Act s33(3) and EPBC Act s269A(7), and takes effect the day after registration. The instrument itself does not set funding or enforcement details; it replaces which State plan is treated as the Commonwealth‑adopted recovery plan.
