Action 4.4 Liaise with state government agencies, local governments, and regional NRM organisations in order to incorporate Macadamia conservation into their biodiversity conservation and natural resource management strategies
The distribution of Macadamia species spans 15 local government areas, three regional bodies and two state governments. Whilst many are taking a proactive role in Macadamia conservation and management, with the exception of planning for wildlife corridors, each is primarily focussed on the geographic extent of their respective jurisdictions. Conservation of Macadamia species requires a coordinated approach that accounts for individual actions and facilitates implementation of broader initiatives that spans the species' geographic distribution, to ensure that optimum outcomes are achieved. The MCC has a lead role in this coordinated conservation, ensuring that past activities supported through substantial investment by the Australian Macadamia industry on behalf of the community are built upon in the ongoing development and implementation of this Recovery Plan.

Objective 5. Manage, monitor and evaluate the National Recovery Plan for Macadamia Species

Performance Criteria 5a. Progress made on the completion of Recovery Plan actions is reviewed biennially
Action 5.1 Maintain the role of the Macadamia Conservation Committee as the coordinating body for the Recovery Plan
In 2013, the Macadamia Conservation Trust, in consultation with the MCC and with the support of the AMS (trustees for the MCT), commissioned the development of a Business Plan to guide the activities and operations of both the MCT and MCC to assist in maximising conservation outcomes (deVos Consulting 2013). The Business Plan includes Terms of Reference for both the MCT and MCC and confirms the role of the MCC to:
    * provide advice and recommendations to the MCT and AMS on all matters related to Macadamia conservation
    * develop and undertake/manage activities to promote Macadamia conservation
    * act as a reference/advisory committee for the 'Wild about Macadamias' project and any subsequent similar projects
    * undertake activities to raise funds for the Trust.
Members of the MCC are appointed by the AMS on recommendation from the MCC on the required mix of skills and background and may include Macadamia growers, scientists and researchers, conservation specialists NRM and community groups, together with representatives of government departments and instrumentalities.
