Consultation with, and advice considered from relevant State and Territory Governments and the general public
This plan is the culmination of several redrafts of a plan first written by Brett Lane & Associates and subsequent extensive development by the staff of Norfolk Island National Park. This version was completed by Birds Australia in consultation with Parks Australia, Australian Government Conservator, and staff of Norfolk Island National Park, NI Conservator of Public Reserves, Environment Australia, NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service and Taronga Zoo.
The recovery plan has been before the Norfolk Island National Park Advisory Committee (NINPAC) on a number of occasions from early drafting. The NINPAC is representative of the Norfolk Island community and Norfolk Island government is represented by the Norfolk Island Conservator of Public Reserves. The recovery actions are in the main focussed on the National Park, so no landholders are affected.
This project produces no significant adverse social or economic impacts
that the recovery team is aware of.
Monitoring, reporting and review
Progress will be monitored and evaluated yearly by members of the recovery team through an annual review. The monitoring process will include:
Compiling information from flock composition counts, annual count data, maintaining a number of protected nests not less than the minimum required for recovery, and assessing progress against the criteria and objectives of the recovery plan (data comparisons performed by participating biologists).
