the Norfolk Island community, engaging the community in natural resource and conservation management by fostering positive land conservation, citizen science initiatives and volunteer opportunities. There is a growing appetite amongst the Norfolk Island community to contribute to improved environmental outcomes, and opportunities should be sought to enable the community to take the lead.
A partnership approach between the relevant Australian Government agencies, NIRC, community groups and private landholders is crucial to implementing the necessary cross-tenure outcomes outlined in this plan. As noted in section 5.1.1, a coordination group/recovery team should be formed to provide overall coordination and governance of the plan. Roles in delivering the plan are summarised in Table 31 and Table 32.

Primary roles for each organisation/group in delivery of direct management under this plan are outlined. The columns correspond to management programs in section 4.1, but 'restoration of native vegetation' has been separated into constituent activities of seed collection and propagation, restoration of vegetation, weed management, and grazing management. Each organisation may also provide support to other agencies beyond these primary roles and areas of responsibility. Roles indicated here refer to technical leadership, oversight and delivery, and not necessarily to the provision of funding.
