3.2. Evaluating the implementation of the TAP

Section 279 of the EPBC Act provides for the review of TAPs at any time, and requires that TAPs be reviewed at intervals of not longer than five years. Recommendations from any reviews are to be used to inform the development of the revised TAP if necessary.

Table A: Examples of threatened species and ecological communities listed under the EPBC Act that are under immediate threat from the five listed grasses. Other matters of national environmental significance that may be adversely impacted are also included

Invasive species                               A species occurring as a result of human activities beyond its accepted normal distribution which threatens valued environmental, agricultural or personal resources by the damage it causes (Beeton et al., 2006).
Key asset                                      A threatened species and ecological community listed under the EPBC Act or another matter of national environmental significance under immediate threat from the five listed grasses.
Key threatening process                        A threatening process listed under the EPBC Act that meets any of the following criteria:
                                                   * could cause a native species or an ecological community to become eligible for listing in any category, other than conservation
