The Threatened Species Conservation Regulation 2002 will lapse on 1 September 2010. The NSW Department of Environment Climate Change and Water (DECCW) is conducting a review of the existing regulation. A Regulatory Impact Statement (RIS) has been prepared and is currently on exhibition. The proposed Regulation is intended to provide criteria for:
- the listing of critically endangered species, endangered species, vulnerable species, endangered populations, critically endangered ecological communities, endangered ecological communities and vulnerable ecological communities;
- the protection and management of the Little Penguin critical habitat and the Wollemi Pine critical habitat; and
- various other matters.
Written comments and submissions on the RIS and proposed Regulation will be received until 2 July 2010. Please give us any feedback you may have. More information is here.
