National Recovery Plan for Spiny Rice-flower.                                                                                                                                     Land managers, Custodians and other stakeholders are supported to develop and implement effective adaptive management plans that include Spiny Rice-flower and address known or likely threats of the local sites.      * Pimelea spinescens Recovery Team

7.3                 Implementation and evaluation
This Recovery Plan guides recovery action for the Spiny Rice-flower, its implementation to be coordinated by the national recovery team with identified partners working collaboratively to achieve positive and lasting conservation outcomes for the species. The technical, scientific, habitat management or education components of the Recovery Plan will be referred to specialist groups for research, in situ management, or community education as required.
The Recovery Plan will guide recovery effort for 10 years and will be reviewed within 5 years from the date it's made under the EPBC Act. Actions and recovery progress will be regularly reviewed by the Recovery Team through a structured review process throughout this period. This will include compiling all information, assessing progress against the performance criteria and objectives to allow adaptive management for the species consistent with national reporting guidelines for recovery teams. The review outcome will determine:
    * whether the plan continues unchanged, is varied to remove completed actions, or varied to include new conservation priorities; or
    * whether a Recovery Plan is no longer necessary for the species, as either conservation advice will suffice, or the species is removed from the threatened species list.
As part of this review, the listing status of the species will be reviewed to determine whether it needs to be reassessed (down listed) against the EPBC Act species listing criteria.

7.4                 Priorities, timeframes and funding
Spiny Rice-flower requires interventions including control and mitigation of threats, habitat protection, and better understanding of its ecology to support its recovery. Significant progress in recovering Spiny Rice-flower populations is likely to occur if the actions outlined in this Recovery Plan are comprehensively funded and implemented over the next 10 years. The cost of implementing this plan should be incorporated into the core business expenditure of partners, including funding, bodies, to ensure those partners who are responsible for implementing relevant actions can effectively collaborate, prioritise and implement actions to protect the species and ensure its long-term persistence (Garnet et al. 2018). Anticipated funding sources include the Commonwealth, state, and local governments and the Pimelea Conservation Trust fund.
