5.3           Performance of the recovery plan
The performance of this recovery plan will be considered at the completion of the plan. The performance of the plan will be rated against how successful the plan has been in meeting its overarching actions (Table 13) and will give an indication of the degree of progress towards the long-term recovery objective. The approach to reviewing performance under the Recovery Plan will be developed in consultation with the Recovery Team established under this plan, and the Threatened Species Scientific Committee. The progress of the plan will be reported at a five year (mid-term) review of the plan.
