tenures across the Norfolk Island Group including Norfolk Island, Phillip Island, Nepean Island and surrounding rock stacks (Map 1) but does not address the Norfolk Marine Park (which is managed under the Temperate East Marine Parks Network Management Plan 2018 (Director of National Parks 2018). However, there are important ecological interactions between seabirds and other primarily land-dwelling species with the surrounding marine environment. Where necessary, these interactions are acknowledged, and the Norfolk Marine Park is discussed briefly in section 5.1.
Map 1 Terrestrial areas of the Norfolk Island Group covered in the plan, including location of protected areas
The plan covers all land tenures across the Norfolk Island Group including Norfolk Island, Phillip Island, Nepean Island and surrounding rock stacks, but does not address the Norfolk Marine Park.
The plan is formally made for 53 threatened species in the Norfolk Island Group that are listed under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act), but more broadly addresses the full suite of threatened species, comprising 46 plant species, five species of land snails, five bird species and two reptile species (Table 4). This plan is consistent with, or will not conflict with, any other recovery plans for species that are in force under the EPBC Act. This plan will serve as a formal recovery plan under the EPBC Act for all species listed in Table 4 with the exception of the five molluscs, which do not formally require a recovery plan under the EPBC Act and have a conservation advice in place. The five snail species all occur in areas currently managed as national parks or public reserves, and the approved conservation advices are considered sufficient for providing direction to implement priority actions and manage key threats.
Note that for taxonomic names of the threatened species covered by this plan, all scientific names used are those for the species as they are currently accepted by the Australian Plant Census (APC) for flora and the Australian Faunal Directory (AFD) for fauna. Where species have been listed under the EPBC Act under previous names, the listed name appears first in tables, with the APC/AFD name in brackets, and any further information provided in table notes.
