Plant dieback caused by P. cinnamomi is reduced to the point where intervention is no longer necessary
Extent of high-quality native vegetation increased:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Loss, degradation and fragmentation of native vegetation
    * At least 27% of the Mt Pitt section of the national park has native vegetation in good or recovering condition b                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Competition from/change of habitat because of weed invasion
    * at least 7% of Phillip Island has native vegetation in good or recovering condition b
    * at least 11% of land in public reserves has native vegetation in good or recovering condition b
    * Outside of the park and reserves, at least 10% of land has native vegetation in good or recovering condition. This will include restoration of a substantial amount of the three forest types that have been most reduced from their original range: viny hardwood forest, plateau hardwood forest, and lowland valley hardwood forest b
    * Patches of vegetation will as far as possible be of sufficient size and have sufficient connectedness to support the plant assemblages that are characteristic of the different vegetation types and to provide functional habitat networks for threatened species
Fire risk to protected areas and other areas of native vegetation is minimised, and any outbreaks in or threatening these areas are swiftly suppressed                                                                                                                                                                                          Increased fire risk as a result of climate change
Increased awareness and vigilance to prevent unplanned ignitions and to report and stop them rapidly when detected
Limited availability of suitable nest sites overcome such that, for each hollow‑nesting species, there is an increase of at least 20% in the number of breeding attempts in managed nest sites                                                                                                                                                  Lack of available nest sites

Any incursion of a significant invasive species on Phillip Island is swiftly eradicated                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Impacts of potential new invasive species
