 (b) state criteria against which achievement of the objectives is to be measured; and
 (c) specify the actions needed to achieve the objectives; and
 (d) identify the habitats of the species concerned and the actions needed to protect those habitats; and
 (e) identify:
 (i) interests that will be affected by the plan's implementation; and
 (ii) organisations or persons who will be involved in evaluating the performance of the plan; and
 (f) specify any major benefits to migratory species, marine species, species of cetacean or conservation dependent species (other than those to which the plan relates) that will be affected by the plan's implementation; and
 (g) meet prescribed criteria (if any) and contain provisions of a prescribed kind (if any).
 (3) In making a wildlife conservation plan, regard must be had to:
 (a) the objects of this Act; and
 (b) the most efficient and effective use of the resources that are allocated for the conservation of migratory species, marine species, species of cetacean and conservation dependent species; and
 (c) minimising any significant adverse social and economic impacts, consistently with the principles of ecologically sustainable development; and
