5.       Shortlisted Fauna
5.1      Shortlisted species
From the forty-five (45) fauna species of conservation significance identified in the Desktop Review, A total of
twenty-nine (29) Shire-wide conservation significant species were shortlisted for potential management priorities
under this Road Map. That is, species which reside in the Noosa LGA that are currently listed under the Nature
Conservation Act (Queensland) or the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act
(Commonwealth), and afforded either of the following conservation advices;
            • Critically Endangered
            • Endangered
            • Vulnerable

Given both Acts form the primary overarching legislation regarding threatened species conservation advice, it is
appropriate to shortlist Noosa’s conservation significant species using such criteria. Species classified as
Conservation Dependent (EPBC) or Near Threatened (NCA) have been excluded from consideration by Noosa
Council for priority management.

Table 4 (below) identifies the twenty-nine (29) fauna species of conservation significance shortlisted for potential
management priorities under this Road Map.
