Cumberland Plain Recovery Plan now available

The Cumberland Plain in western Sydney is Australia ‘s fastest growing and most populous region. Many of its unique natural attributes need special effort to maintain their values and ensure their protection. Just 13% of western Sydney ‘s native vegetation remains in highly fragmented patches of varying size and condition. The Cumberland Plain Recovery Plan has been designed to provide for the long-term survival and protection of the threatened biodiversity of the Cumberland Plain as the area develops. It constitutes the formal New South Wales recovery plan for 20 threatened species, populations and ecological communities that reside there.
