Threat Level 1	Threat Level 2	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Natural system modifications	other ecosystem modifications	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low
Residential and commercial development	commercial and industrial development	likely in long term (beyond 4 years)	small area/few individuals (<10%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	low

Condition of habitat (state)
Habitat	Habitat Detail	Reference Area (ha)	Actual Area (ha)	% of habitat remaining	% of carrying capacity (overall)	Result

Conservation actions taken at site (response)
Conservation Designation	Management Planning	Conservation Action	Result
Whole area of site (>90%) covered by appropriate conservation designation	A comprehensive and appropriate management plan exists that aims to maintain or improve the populations of qualifying bird species	Substantive conservation measures are being implemented but these are not comprehensive and are limited by resources and capacity	high
