    8 Duration and cost of recovery process
It is anticipated that the recovery process will not be achieved prior to the scheduled five year review of the recovery plan. The National Recovery Plan for the Plains-wanderer (Pedionomus torquatus) will therefore remain in place until such time as the Australian population of the plains-wanderer has improved to the point at which the population no longer meets threatened species status under the EPBC Act.
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 state and Commonwealth 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. Whilst only Priority 1 actions are costed in this recovery plan, this should not deflect from any proposal to undertake Priority 2 or 3 actions. All actions are considered important steps towards ensuring the long-term survival of the species.
