change such as drought, heatwave and fire. This is assessed by undertaking modelling and analysis of Koala habitat, distribution and abundance, and genetic and genomic analysis (sections 14.1 and 20.3), allowing for iterative updates using a robust scenario-based approach. Prioritise areas for gathering information that are poorly understood or potentially of greatest risk, including, but not limited to, areas of inland and northern Queensland and inland New South Wales; prioritise populations at greatest risk from climate change and land clearing (Table 2, section 16.1 ). NB. This prioritisation seeks to complement, not replace or duplicate, that undertaken by state or territory jurisdictions which may, for example, focus on securing currently robust populations into the future.  Coordinated by the Australian Government with: state and territory government agencies using internal or external mapping and modelling experts; or Expert Technical Advisory Panel and the National Koala Recovery Team; or researchers.                                                                                                                                   1         Year 1              $100,000 to $200,000 for a desk-top project
1 b         Identify spatially and temporally strategic areas of high priority for: (i) restoration and revegetation based on Koala and eucalypt population viability; (ii) climate and fire refugia; and (iii) corridors facilitating movement and metapopulation processes of Koalas, allowing for iterative updates using the latest models available in a robust scenario-based approach. Prioritise areas for information gathering that are poorly understood or potentially of greatest risk, including, but not limited to, areas of inland and northern Queensland and inland New South Wales; prioritise populations at greatest risk from climate change and land clearing (Table 2; section 16.1).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Coordinated by the Australian Government with: state and territory government agencies; local government and natural resource management organisations; or non-government conservation organisations; or researchers.                                                                                                                                                       1         Year 1 and ongoing  $30,000 to $60,000 per regional-scale document for a desk-top project

1 c         Develop prioritisation at regional or other appropriate scales for the long-term implementation of actions. These include threat risk assessment, prioritisation of habitat attributes for the recovery of the listed Koala, local actions and land management planning (see Part III Implementation). Prioritise regions that are poorly understood or potentially of greatest risk, including, but not limited to, areas of inland and northern Queensland and inland New South Wales, and climate refugia.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Governments appropriate to scale, with: natural resource management organisations; mapping and modelling experts; Expert Technical Advisory Panel and the National Koala Recovery Team; and researchers.                                                                                                                                                                    1         Year 2              Highly variable depending on size and location of area and socio-economic complexity.
