 threat to those species.
 Encourage and partner with land               Land managers        Existing         Ongoing
 managers with known or potential habitat
 for threatened species to implement
 appropriate weed control for these
 species. (eg. Control of invasive vines
 such as Cat's Claw Creeper, Morning
 Glory, Madeira vine and Lantana which
 smother and degrade habitat to protect
 species such as the Richmond Birdwing
 Butterfly, Giant Barred Frog, Coxen's Fig-
 parrot.

 b) Animal control
 Work with Council’s waste team to ensure                           Existing         Ongoing
 waste disposal areas (which attract foxes)
 near known or potential habitats for
 priority species are managed to minimise
 opportunities for foxes to shelter, hunt
 and scavenge (eg. trail monitoring, baiting
 and trapping).
 Target pig control to protected areas that                         Existing,        Ongoing
 have overlapping populations of                                    potential
 threatened species (eg. Lesser Swamp                               expansion
 Orchid and Water Mouse).
 Target feral dog and cat control to areas                          Existing,        Ongoing
 of, or neighbouring, known priority native                         potential
