           A        Decision Matrix
           A comprehensive Decision Matrix is presented as Appendix One, which scores and ranks the shortlisted thirty-
           four fauna species in relation to their conservation status and susceptibility to regional threating processes (the
           selection criteria). A total of nine species of conservation significance (the Noosa Nine) will be nominated for
            management priority through the Decision Matrix (Appendix One / Figure 2 below).

           42       Selection criteria
           Thirteen (13) criteria were used to score and rank species for management priorities. Weighting was applied to
           criteria critical to delivering Strategy 1.3 of the NES. Table 4 (below) lists the selection criteria and weighting used
           to nominate the Noosa Nine.
