This list includes changes to species groups in the Whole Plant Sustainable Management Plan 2023–27, Appendix A. These changes will be incorporated into Schedule 6 of the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 in due course.
It is recognised that some individually listed threatened species are traded in the native plant industry and may appear as both threatened and protected plants. Picking and harvesting threatened plant species from the wild is not permitted under a wild harvest or approved harvester licence. Threatened species will only be available to the whole-plant and cut-flower industry as grower-only products and regulated under a grower licence.
