state and territory governments to liaise among jurisdictions and to act as an enabler to guide conservation actions for the listed Koala.
A Recovery Team will be established with supporting Expert Technical Advisory and Community Advisory Committees to provide advice to the Recovery Team as required (Figure 3, Action 1k). These groups will work with and complement but not duplicate existing groups established at the level of the states and territory.
The Recovery Team will be the nucleus to collaborate and coordinate recovery effort, and will be formed in accordance with best practice governance guidelines established by the Australian Government (http://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/threatened/recovery-teams).
The Recovery Team will be representative of the diversity of those engaged in Koala research, conservation management, community activities, social sciences and Indigenous Australians. It will monitor progress in implementation, share and review information, identify funding opportunities and report on progress.
Two committees will provide support to the Recovery Team:
    * an Expert Technical Advisory Committee, which will provide technical support across various disciplines of conservation and social sciences
    * a Community Advisory Committee, which will have representation of the wide range of groups with an interest in Koala conservation, welfare and rehabilitation, and interested industry groups to disseminate and share information (Figure 3).
The time required to commit to a Recovery Team and any supporting committees will likely be significant and therefore it is anticipated that most members will be supported by their parent organisation or affiliation. To share the anticipated workload fairly, the structure of these groups may need to be made up of multiple members representing various disciplines. These also can provide the opportunity for emerging early career researchers, and staff of partner organisations to gain valuable experience by sharing best-practice by senior personnel.

12. National coordination, regional implementation

12.1 National implementation pathway
Within twelve months of the making of the recovery plan, the development of a National Implementation Pathway will be led by the Australian Government and subject to negotiation with key partners through which agreement is reached on partner responsibilities, contributions, governance arrangements, risk management, commitment to agreed actions, data-sharing arrangements, and reporting structure, once the recovery plan is in place. This will be underpinned by principles on cooperation. This recovery plan will also be augmented by appropriate regional-scale plans (Action 1c, section 12.2).
Potential implementation partners will be identified for every action, while affected interest groups will be consulted as required (section 16.1), noting partners and affected interest groups may not necessarily be mutually exclusive.
Broadly, these will include, but are not limited to:
    * Australian Government, state and territory government agencies and local governments with statutory responsibilities to protect and manage the listed Koala and its habitat
    * Key Koala conservation stakeholders
