THREATENED SPECIES CONSERVATION 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 species of insect in Part 1 of Schedule 1 to that Act (Endangered species) and, accordingly, that Schedule is amended as set out in Annexure “A” to this Notice:

Odonata

Petaluridae

Petalura gigantea (Leach, 1815) Giant Dragonfly

The final determination to insert this species in Part I of Schedule 1 has been made because the Scientific Committee is of the opinion that the numbers of the species have been reduced to such a critical level, and its habitats have been so drastically reduced, that it is in immediate danger of extinction.

Copies of the final determination may be inspected at:
