for a part-time (0.3 FTE) Project Coordinator position to keep the project running, liaise between

  partners, provide two-way Science resources, training and management advice, coordinate the annual monitoring program, collate data and assist in the administration of project grants.

  One-off costs to develop and implement a Tjakura Roadshow, hold an on-Country festival, and facilitate a smaller workshop to develop sustainable hunting practices are also included in this budget.

  2022-2023 The first two years of this Recovery Plan focusses on establishing an updated national distribution of Tjakura and collecting baseline
  population data from a range of sites to monitor trends through the life of the Recovery Plan.

  This will also involve making resources available to conduct surveys and talk to old people about historical sightings, and general promotion of Tjakura and the Recovery Plan.

  Existing monitoring programs will continue and we will start to establish new monitoring programs at additional sites.

  We will also focus on recording cultural knowledge about Tjakura in this first phase.

  The number of sites where targeted fire management is conducted will gradually increase from 2023.

  From 2024 the Recovery effort will switch from fewer surveys of new areas to more strategic consolidated management of existing populations.

  In 2027 all data will be collated to conduct a 5-year Review of the Recovery Plan. This will assess how many Outputs have been achieved each year, the degree
  to which Actions have led to improved outcomes and ultimately whether we are on track to achieve the specific Conservation Objectives of maintaining a stable range and demonstrating an increase in number of active burrows across the range by 2032.

  Results of the 5-year Review will inform refinements to management priorities for the second half of the Plan.
