ACTGOV Nature Conservation Act Listed Species

Nature Conservation Act 2014 This list brings together species listed under the Nature Conservation Act 2014 that receive additional protection in the Australian Capital Territory, including species on the Threatened Native Species List and the Protected Native Species List. The Threatened Native Species List identifies native plants and animals at risk of extinction or significant decline in the ACT. Species on this list have Special Protection Status, which triggers statutory planning, licensing and compliance requirements, and may require the preparation of Conservation Advice and Action Plans based on scientific assessment and recommendation by the ACT Scientific Committee. The Protected Native Species List identifies non‑threatened native species that nevertheless require additional protection due to factors such as rarity within the ACT, data deficiency, vulnerability to trade or collection, or risk in other jurisdictions. Species are included in defined categories such as restricted trade, rare, and data deficient, using criteria based solely on scientific matters and developed in consultation with the Scientific Committee. Ngunnawal species names are included where available, provided in consultation with the Winanggaay Ngunnawal Language Aboriginal Corporation.
