            * Undertake feral cat control using techniques applicable to the circumstances and local conditions, for example baiting, trapping, hunting, shooting, grooming traps. Ensure that potential impacts on non-target species are considered and managed.

            * Schedule control activities to account for bilby and feral cat breeding cycles, prey availability, potential interactions with wild canids.
            * Facilitate and encourage the exchange of information, advice and training between landowners and managers, for localised feral cat management.
            * Continue refining and trialling new baits, attractants and other methods to develop effective feral cat control techniques for arid areas that don't affect other native species, for example quolls and kowaris.
            * Provide opportunities to exchange knowledge and experience on feral cat control techniques between Traditional Owners, land managers and species management experts and predator management practitioners.
            * Ensure, where possible, that monitoring is established to determine an appropriate baseline and measure management impact.
