- Species richness;
- Number of seedlings/plants;
- Rehabilitation species diversity;
- Weed richness and weed density/percentage cover; and
- Abundance of species suitable for future use by Carnaby’s cockatoo for food.

Establishment of the rehabilitation sites was assessed as being the commencement of weed control as this was the first action in the Plan of Works. Weed control commenced in 2008. Five years from commencement was reached in September 2013.

Condition Milestone 08

Timeframes. The funding is to be expended within five years of the establishment of the last rehabilitation site.

Establishment of the rehabilitation sites was assessed as being the commencement of weed control as this was the first action in the Plan of Works. Weed control commenced in 2008. Five years from commencement was reached in September 2013.
