activity in the vicinity of a known occurrence of Asplenium listeri or in an area identified as potential habitat needs to be preceded by:
     * survey for the species; and
     * (wherever it is found) comprehensive documentation of the population and site factors; and
     * detailed attention to measures to avoid or mitigate impact on any population.

Specific attention needs to be paid to proposed developments and maintenance activities in areas of known or potential habitat on or near the tops of inland cliffs that may increase vulnerability of the species to:
    * modification of habitat by mining or excavation, construction, clearing of native vegetation; or
    * weed invasion, or exotic fauna; or
    * dust deposition; or
    * human traffic; or
    * unauthorised collecting.

Mapping for EPBC public enquiry purposes needs to remain coarse, with at least a 1 kilometre buffer around known localities.  If predictive models are developed, potential habitat should be mapped in a similar fashion for public enquiry.
