Description:
Under the Nature Conservation Act 2014 (NC Act) (https://www.legislation.act.gov.au/DownloadFile/a/2014-59/current/PDF/2014-59.PDF) the Minister for the Environment must make a list of species that are at risk of extinction or significant decline within the Australian Capital Territory.
Listed species have Special Protection Status (SPS) under the NC Act and triggers various provisions under the Planning Act 2023, requirements for licences under the NC Act and higher penalties for offences under the Chapter 6 NC Act, as well as, triggering the requirement for a Conservation Advice (Section 90C NC Act) to be prepared by the Scientific Committee and potentially triggering the requirement for an Action Plan (Part 4.5 NC Act) to be prepared and implemented by the Conservator of Flora and Fauna for the species under the NC Act.
The Minister for the Environment makes the Threatened Native Species List on the assessment and recommendation of the ACT Scientific Committee.
The Threatened Native Species List contains species (or sub-species) that are eligible to be included in one following (national) categories:

extinct;
extinct in the wild;
critically endangered;
endangered;
vulnerable;
conservation dependent.
The list may also contain species that are eligible to included in one of the following regional categories:
