Fisheries Management Amendment (Threatened Species Conservation) Order (No 4) 2005

under the

Fisheries Management Act 1994

I, the Minister for Primary Industries, in pursuance of section 220D of the Fisheries
Management Act 1994, make the following Order.
Dated, this 7th day of December 2005.

IAN MACDONALD, M.L.C., Minister for Primary Industries

Explanatory note
Part 7A of the Fisheries Management Act 1994 (the Act) deals with the conservation of threatened species, populations and ecological communities of fish and marine vegetation. For the purposes of identification and classification, provision is made for the listing:

(a)	in Schedule 4 to the Act, of endangered species, endangered populations, and endangered ecological communities and species that are presumed to be extinct, and
(b)	in Schedule 5, of vulnerable species, and
(c)	in Schedule 6, of key threatening processes.

Under the Act, listings and amendments to listings are to be made by the Minister by order
on the recommendation of the Fisheries Scientific Committee (the Committee).
The object of this Order is to list the aquatic ecological community in the natural drainage
system of the lowland catchment of the Lachlan River as an endangered ecological
community in Part 3 of Schedule 4 to the Act, as recommended by the Committee.
The Committee has recommended this listing because it considers that the community is
likely to become extinct in nature unless the circumstances and factors threatening its survival
cease to operate.

This Order is made under section 220D of the Fisheries Management Act 1994.
