About the plan
The Gould’s Petrel (Pterodroma leucoptera leucoptera) is listed as an endangered species on Schedule 1 of the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 and is also listed as endangered under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. Gould’s Petrel is Australia’s rarest endemic seabird and only breeds on Cabbage Tree and Boondelbah Islands, off the coast of Port Stephens, NSW. Active management of the Gould’s Petrel commenced in 1992, when the then National Parks and Wildlife Service (now the Department Environment and Conservation (DEC)) initiated a research program to determine the current status of the population and to identify any threats affecting the subspecies. At that time, there were less than 250 pairs. In 1996, an interim recovery plan for the Gould’s Petrel was prepared.
