2002 No 675

Threatened Species Conservation New South Wales

Act 1995 No 101

Notice of Final Determination and Amendment of Schedule 1 to Act

The Scientific Committee established under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 has, in pursuance of Division 3 of Part 2 of that Act, made a final determination to insert the following population of bird in Part 2 of Schedule 1 to that Act (Endangered populations) and, accordingly, that Schedule is amended as set out in Annexure “A” to this Notice:

Animals
Vertebrates

Birds

Casuariidae

Dromaius novaehollandiae Emu population in the New South Wales North Coast Bioregion and Port Stephens local government area

The final determination to insert this population in Part 2 of Schedule 1 has been made because the Scientific Committee is of the opinion that the population’s habitat has been so drastically reduced that it is in immediate danger of extinction, that it is not a population of a species already listed in Schedule 1, that it is disjunct and at or near the limit of its geographic range and that it is otherwise of significant conservation value.

Copies of the final determination may be inspected during business hours at:

The National Parks Centre
102 George St
The Rocks

Sydney

and at Area Offices or Visitor Centres of the National Parks and Wildlife Service.

Signed at Sydney, this 19th day of June 2002.
