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.
Table 5 outlines the action priorities, timeframes, partners, primary funding sources and costs (where estimable) required to achieve the objectives of the Spiny Rice-flower Recovery Plan. It is expected that Commonwealth and state agencies will use this plan to prioritise investment and actions to protect the species and enhance its recovery, and that projects will be undertaken according to agency priorities and available resources. All actions are considered important steps towards ensuring the long-term survival of Spiny Rice-flower. The recovery process of Spiny Rice-flower is anticipated to be continually evolving and therefore recovery actions of the species may still be required beyond the 5-year review of the Recovery Plan.
