Integration of this plan with existing programs will result in the most efficient and effective use of resources for the conservation of Eastern Bristlebirds. Management Practices Management practices necessary to avoid significant impacts on Eastern Bristlebirds include: compliance with existing protection the EPBC, TSC, NC and FFG Acts; site-appropriate fire and grazing management for locations, potential habitat and adjoining land; compliance with existing clearing and development restrictions and regulations; conservation management of all relevant National Parks, Nature Reserves and other protected areas; private land conservation schemes; retention of suitable habitat and minimisation of fragmentation; continuation of feral predator programs; captive breeding, in accordance with the protocols and policies developed; and community engagement and education activities. Actions that result in any of the following within habitat critical for survival may result in a significant impact on the Eastern Bristlebird: loss or intensified use of habitat, such as clearing for development and inappropriate burning regimes; construction of new roads or substantial upgrades to existing roads; medium to long-term removal of substantial areas of grassy undergrowth; habitat disturbance from overgrazing by livestock, feral pigs, weeds or dieback; unauthorised, non-scientific use of bristlebird call playback at occupied territories; and unlawful taking of an Eastern Bristlebird or any bristlebird product (e.g. eggs, nests etc). Affected interests This plan aims to promote a co-operative approach to the protection and management of the Eastern Bristlebird and its habitat involving governments, the community, landholders and Indigenous peoples, in accordance with the EPBC Act. A range of community stakeholders including private landholders, public authorities and organisations may be affected by actions to recover the Eastern Bristlebird. This plan aims to provide guidance to the community members, agencies and public
