| Listing Advice |
Listing assessment information may be available in the approved Conservation Advice |
| Recovery Plan Decision |
Recovery Plan not required, the threats facing the species, and the recovery actions needed would most effectively be guided via Conservation Advice. The species is endemic to southern Queensland and the northern region of New South Wales. Coordination of conservation actions is restricted to a few key stakeholders. A Conservation Advice will support the species recovery by identifying priority actions and the research priorities to facilitate a better understanding of key threats as well as biological and ecological knowledge gaps (27/08/2023).
