Completion Criteria
Corrective Action
No net loss of impacted G. hockingsii plants.
Survival within each cohort of planted G. hockingsii individuals exceeds 75 %.
The number of planted G. hockingsii individuals surviving at the recipient site is greater than or equal to the number of plants recorded in the impact area.
Determine and treat cause of plant decline. Growth stimulants, insecticide, or fungicide treatments may be required. Plant additional tubestock necessary to achieve no net loss. Additional seed collection and propagation may be required if insufficient tubestock is available at the nursery. Review weed control operations and undertake additional control measures. Treat with insecticide if insect attack observed.
Minimal competition from weeds during the monitoring period.
Less than 25 % cover of weeds across recipient site. Proportion of insect attack is no greater than that recorded at the reference site. Proportion of plant rot is no greater than that Proportion of plants subject to feral fauna damage is no greater than reference site. No prescribed burns in the recipient site for at least five years. recorded at the reference site.

Minimise insect predation.
Minimise plant rot.
Treat with fungicide. Adjust watering regimes.
No plant damage from feral fauna.
Develop and implement control measures (e.g. pest control, and trapping). Investigate cause and implement corrective actions. Review Fire Management Plan. Investigate cause. Undertake repairs as necessary. Communicate adherence to ‘no go’ zone protocols.
Minimise fire impacts.
No unauthorised access within recipient site.
Exclusion zone around recipient site (including signage) is present and in good condition.
