The NSW Threatened Species Scientific Committee also publishes a notice of final determination. This notice explains how a species, population, ecological community or key threatening process meets the criteria for listing.
Final determinations made before August 2017 were made under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. Under that Act, assessments were made on the threat status of species, populations or ecological communities in New South Wales and were based on criteria in the Threatened Species Conservation Regulations.
Final determinations made since August 2017 are made under the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 and the listing criteria in the Biodiversity Conservation Regulation 2017. The conservation assessment reports included with many final determinations are prepared using the common assessment method (CAM).
The schedules of the Act are maintained by the Scientific Committee. They are updated regularly to take into account final determinations that:
- add or remove species, ecological communities and key threatening processes
- amend the names or descriptions of species or ecological communities.
