(1) The Department of Environment and Conservation's (DEC) guidelines for undertaking Western Ringtail Possum surveys in the South West Region are contained within the document 'Draft Development Planning Guidelines for Western Ringtail Possums in Busselton and Dunsborough.' Although currently a draft version, it is regarded by DEC as a regional working document subject to revision as required.
(2) The document has been circulated amongst environmental planning and development consultants, relevant local government authorities and Department of Planning staff for comment and adoption. The document is available to anyone requesting a copy and is provided by DEC to any interested party seeking advice on the subject.
(3) DEC is currently assessing the suitability of the guidelines for application in other regions where ringtail possums occur. When this assessment is completed a final version of the document will be produced. DEC anticipates that this will occur within the next 12 months.
