*Beginning in 1997 New South Wales has included a provision for animals previously killed in the commercial zone under non commercial permits to be included as an identified component of the quota (damage mitigation quota). This part of the quota will be released only when the regional commercial quota has been used and then only based on consideration of property inspections, kangaroo population trends and climatic trends.
**In 1996, South Australia refined the setting of the commercial harvest quota to provide for the separate identification of a sustainable use component to the quota and an additional land mitigation component. This latter component will be released only when there is an identified threat to land management goals in an area that the sustainable component of the quota has been taken.
