processes and governance structure are established to enable rapid and effective response to emergency events (Action 8.2).
By end of 5th year       * Comprehensive interim review completed of the implementation and success of this Recovery Plan, with recommendations for adaptive changes (Action 8.3 and Action 8.4).
By end of 10th year      * Comprehensive review completed of the implementation and success of this Recovery Plan, with this review informing the development and implementation of a new Plan (Action 8.3 and Action 8.4).

    8               Plan implementation
This Plan describes a coordinated series of objectives and actions designed to secure the conservation future of Leadbeater's possum. However, that future will not be realised unless the Plan is appropriately resourced and effectively and comprehensively implemented. This section describes the process, resource requirements and timing of the Plan's implementation and delivery; indicates those agencies and groups who should take responsibility for, or be involved in, implementation of each action; and prioritisation of actions. Delayed or inadequate implementation of this Plan will further compromise the conservation outlook for this species and render its management increasingly ineffective and risky.

8.1                 Implementation schedule and costs
Implementation of this Plan will require commitment and effective coordination and collaboration between key stakeholders and partners. A recovery team or similar governance model (Action 7.1 and Action 8.1) will be the key mechanism to coordinate recovery effort, ensure appropriate progress in implementation, share and review information, identify funding opportunities and report on progress. Potential implementation partners are identified for every action (Table 9) and broadly include government agencies with statutory responsibilities to protect and manage Leadbeater's possum and its habitat, zoos, forest-based industry groups, community organisations, First Nations communities and research institutions.
Implementation responsibilities and arrangements involving potential partners will be subject to negotiation once the Recovery Plan is in place. A detailed implementation plan is to be developed by agreed implementation partners through which agreement is reached on partner contributions to the implementation of actions. Annual and where possible ongoing budgets should be identified, coordinated and secured by the implementation partners with timing and reporting processes consistent with the proposed timeframes and the priorities identified in Table 9. This implementation plan will identify and commit responsible partners to agreed actions and be facilitated by the recovery team or other governance model.
Potential implementation partners will ensure that any risks associated with implementing actions are identified and managed, and that adaptive management underpins all actions. Adaptive management and prioritisation decisions will be made by the responsible organisations, in consultation with key partners and the recovery team, to ensure any changes are consistent with and progress the Recovery Plan objectives. Because actions are to be implemented adaptively, priority, timing and cost estimates may
