Duration and cost of the recovery process

             It is anticipated that the recovery process will not be achieved before the scheduled five year review of the Recovery Plan. The cost of implementation of this Plan should be incorporated into the core business expenditure of the affected organisations, and through additional funds obtained for the explicit purpose of implementing this Recovery Plan. It is expected that Commonwealth and state agencies will use this plan to prioritise actions to protect the species' and enhance its recovery, and that projects will be undertaken according to agency priorities and available resources. In order to maximise the conservation outcomes and cost effectiveness of this plan, it is intended that the recovery actions proposed complement, where possible, those of
             other protected matters. The indicative cost of recovery plans actions was derived from expert elicitation and public comments received in 2020.
