THIS PROJECT IS COMPLETED
 The Department of Environment and Climate Change (DECC) and Sydney Metropolitan Catchment Management Authority developed the Threatened Species Demonstration Sites Project to provide guidance to community volunteers and land managers by demonstrating best practice management of threatened species and ecological communities.
The Project ran from 2006 to 2008 and showcased best practice management of ten threatened species and ecological communities. This was achieved through the preparation of interpretive signs, brochures and best practice guidelines, as well as the running of field days, for each demonstration site. The guidelines outline innovative management practices for threatened species and communities by managers of each site and provide a technical guide for land managers and the community who manage the species and communities elsewhere. It is hoped this will facilitate better management of these species, populations and communities across their range.
On-ground works were also undertaken at three of the sites to improve the status of native vegetation and enhance biodiversity values.
Project Progress: The project was completed in December 2008
