progressing if by 2028:
    * > 95 % of coastal developments and their impact footprints within the modelled distribution of the water mouse are appropriately assessed and regulated to ensure impacts on the national water mouse population are effectively mitigated, and
    * An established Water Mouse Recovery Team is effectively managing water mouse information and distributing relevant communications material among partners, and
    * Known, likely and potential water mouse habitat (current and future) is accurately mapped at a fine scale using the most up-to-date ecological information, and
    * > 40 % of priority water mouse detection locations have been surveyed at least once, and
    * Adaptive water mouse management plans are in place and effective management actions are planned or implemented at > 80 % of water mouse locations (except locations first detected in the last 2 years), and
    * An effective standardised long-term monitoring program is developed and implemented at > 80 % of water mouse locations (except locations first detected in the last 2 years), and
    * > 40 % of the research questions are currently being addressed and planning for the remaining research programs is well-progressed, and
    * There is a significant increase in community awareness about the water mouse across its modelled distribution, and
    * There is significant leadership and participation by Indigenous Peoples in cross-collaborative planning and recovery actions for the water mouse.
Should any area/s be failing to progress, interventions will be sought to ensure progress continues on stabilising, clarifying, and recovering the national water mouse population.
Final evaluation
The recovery plan will be reviewed in 2033 and considered successful if:
    * It can be demonstrated via population monitoring and approvals auditing that the water mouse population has not declined in abundance or occurrence due to coastal development, and
    * Compliant adaptive management plans are in place (or under development) and management actions are effectively implemented to address threats across the water mouse distribution, and
    * Knowledge about water mouse ecology and the impacts of potential threats has increased and is incorporated into adaptive management plans, and
    * Up-to-date water mouse information flows freely among partners due to effective facilitation by the Water Mouse Recovery Team, and
    * Inventory survey effort for water mouse has occurred at all priority locations across northern Australia (where safe and feasible to do so), and
    * The ongoing decline in the national water mouse population is halted i.e. the population is demonstrated to be stable or recovering via an effective national monitoring program across its known distribution, and
    * There is a significant increase in participation by Indigenous Peoples in cross-collaborative recovery planning and actions for the water mouse.
As part of the recovery plan final evaluation, the
