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 and organisations representing smaller groups such as: natural resource management organisations; non-government conservation organisations; professional veterinary and zoological organisations for Koala health and welfare; research institutions; scientists; consultancies; community organisations and Indigenous community groups
    * Industry and land-management organisations and agencies such as: urban and property development organisations; infrastructure and building industry organisations; local fire authorities; landowners; farming-based organisations; forestry-based industry groups; tourism organisations, and energy and mining industry groups.

12.2 Regional implementation plans
This recovery plan will be implemented through regional-scale implementation plans (Action 1c) in consultation with the wider community and affected interest groups. These plans will provide for fine-scale Koala habitat mapping, prioritisation of spatial and resource attributes for the Koala, localised threat risk assessments, local-level land management actions and population management. While local-level strategies or plans have been developed by many local government councils and natural resource management organisations, gaps exist.
Regional-scale implementation plans will be prioritised for regions of poorly understood populations or populations potentially at greatest risk. This prioritisation seeks to complement that currently undertaken by state or territory jurisdictions.
Due to the heterogeneity of threats (section 19), social and economic interests, land use, and natural patterns of variation across the distribution of the Koala, this recovery plan will be implemented through regional scale implementation plans.
Bioregions represent one potential scale, where gaps exist, as a basis for intermediate level planning at a scale that can be informed by the recovery plan and state/territory-level strategies, while also having the capacity to incorporate fine-level habitat analysis, planning and an understanding of the nature and risk of local threats to listed Koala recovery. Such planning approaches already exist in many areas, for example, Queensland has a South East Queensland Strategy (DES 2020a) and New South Wales has Koala Management Plans under the NSW SEPP (section 4.2).
Implementation of the recovery plan will require the refinement of priorities of the strategies and actions outlined here. Additional mapping, ground truthing, monitoring and research may be required to develop these bioregional plans. The development of the plans themselves will require prioritisation, with highest priority given to bioregions where key populations are under most threat or of importance for functional recovery and not currently addressed in state or local level planning. These will be developed in partnership with state, territory and local governments, government authorities, in consultation with key interest groups and affected groups (section 16.1) relevant to the bioregion.
