4. Actions to achieve the objectives
As required under the EPBC Act s271(2)(c) this TAP aims to minimise the impact of chytridiomycosis on Australian amphibian populations. Successful implementation of the plan will result in the stability of currently infected amphibian populations and the continuing chytridiomycosis-free status of amphibians in non-infected regions.
Prioritising actions
Any priority listing of actions can only be done with the understanding that flexibility is essential to allow priorities to be changed to reflect new developments. This TAP has 14 action groups under its five objectives. Since the development of the draft plan, a number of actions have been initiated to develop guidelines and to generate additional evidence for management decisions. Actions funded to date have been of a relatively higher priority. Each action is allocated a category based on priority and the nature of funding required for the activity. These categories are listed below:
Category 1: Actions currently funded in whole or part
Category 2: Actions most urgently requiring funding
Category 3: Actions requiring funding, but of lower priority and
Category 4: Actions that can be implemented without specific government funding.
