11.  Consultation

The Recovery Plan for the Black-breasted Button-quail has been developed through extensive consultation with a broad range of stakeholders. The consultation process brought together key species experts and conservation managers, from a range of different organisations, to categorize ongoing threats to the Black-breasted Button-quail and identify knowledge gaps and potential management options.

Consultation included representatives from government agencies, non-government organisations, researchers and local community groups. During the drafting process the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (Cwlth) continued to work closely with key stakeholders.

Notice of the draft plan was made available for public comment for three months between 5 November 2021 and 25 February 2022. Any comments received that were relevant to the survival of the species were considered by the Threatened Species Scientific Committee as part of its assessment process.
