permissibility requirements) from a centralised repository.
               Strategy 6: Coordinate, review and report on recovery progress.

       1.3                  Criteria for success

 This Recovery Plan will be deemed successful if, within 10 years of the date of its adoption, the objectives have been achieved. Specific performance criteria are outlined in Section 6.

 The evaluation of Recovery Plan objectives and performance criteria rely on measurable indicators. Recovery management processes should identify appropriate indicators and collect baseline data to facilitate measurement of progress
 towards objectives.

       1.4                  Recovery team

 Recovery teams provide advice and assist in coordinating actions described in recovery plans. They include representatives from organisations with a direct interest in the recovery of the species, including those involved in funding and those participating in actions that support the recovery of the species. The National Eastern Bristlebird Recovery Team has the responsibility of providing advice, coordinating and directing the implementation of the recovery actions outlined in this Recovery Plan. The membership of the Recovery Team includes individuals from relevant government agencies, non-government organisations, Traditional Owners, industry groups and expertise from independent researchers and community groups.

                2.   Introduction

           The Recovery Plan considers the conservation requirements of the species across its range and identifies the actions to be taken to ensure the species' long-term viability in the wild, and the parties that will undertake those actions.

           The Recovery Plan replaces the National Recovery Plan for Eastern Bristlebird Dasyornis brachypterus (OEH 2012) that was adopted under the EPBC Act in 2014. The previous Eastern Bristlebird recovery plan was reviewed in January 2021 by an expert panel that included representatives from the New South Wales Department of Planning, Industry and Environment, Queensland Department of Environment and
           Science, Victoria Government Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning, Parks Australia, BirdLife Australia, the Australian National University, the University of Wollongong and others.

           The review noted:
•      The National Recovery Plan for Eastern Bristlebird Dasyornis brachypterus had provided a strong basis for research, engagement and policy initiatives since 2012. All Eastern Bristlebird populations continued to be vulnerable to a range of threats, but active management (targeted weed control, feral predator animal control and prescribed burns) had aided the recovery of the species.
•      Since the adoption of the plan, the Australian Government, states and territories have invested more than $2,835,000 into the conservation of Eastern Bristlebird, including the restoration of important habitats. Governments, NGOs, university researchers and private groups continued to work collaboratively to identify and manage key bristlebird habitat proactively and reactively. Population-specific studies had provided information on each population's optimal habitat needs, though the southern population is less well understood than the northern
             and central populations. Positively, information on conservation genetics had been gathered for some populations, and robust monitoring
