Table 2 Costing Explanations:

Where fund source is listed as Cash, funding will be sought from sources such as Natural Heritage Trust, industry sponsors, the NSW State Biodiversity Program and NPWS annual provisions for implementation of threatened species programs.

Salary for 'in-kind' contributions is calculated at $350 per day, which includes salary and on-costs, provision of office space, vehicles, administration and staff management.

¹ Actions already approved for funding from the Commonwealth Natural Heritage Trust Endangered Species Program.
² Priority ratings as defined by Commonwealth Recovery Plan guidelines: 1 - action critical to prevent extinction, 2 - action prevents negative impact short of extinction.
³ Feasibility assessment reflects estimated chance of success of the action on a scale of 0-100%.
⁴ The expenditure of funding in 02/03 may be delayed if it is not possible to survey in this year due to unfavourable seasonal conditions.
