            5.1      The Noosa Nine

            Under the identified selection criteria, the Decision Matrix scored the following species (in alphabetical order) as
            most suitable to deliver Strategy 1.3 of the NES;

                       >   Giant barred frog
                       >   Glossy-black cockatoo
                       >   Grey-headed flying fox
                       >   Koala
                       >   Loggerhead turtle
                       >   Mary River cod
                       >   Water mouse
                       >   Richmond birdwing butterfly
                       >   Wallam sedge frog

            5.2      Management priorities
            The more threatened a species is, the higher susceptibility it may be to regional or national extinction. Therefore,
            it is appropriate and justifiable to prioritise resources to these more vulnerable species. For some species (koalas),
            Council already has active monitoring and management programs in place. However, this should not impact species
            prioritisation over the ten-year life of the NES (see Section 6 - Delivery). In relation to conservation advice, Table 5
            proposes the temporal prioritisation for threatened fauna conservation for the remainder of the NES (to 2029).
