* The New South Wales commercial harvest quotas for eastern and western grey kangaroos were revised as of 16 September 2010 following an addendum to NSW quota as a result of updated population estimates from June and July 2010. The amendments are in accordance with the requirements of the New South Wales kangaroo management plan.
** The purpose of the special quota is to provide for the commercial utilisation of kangaroos that would have been otherwise been shot under the normal non-commercial licensing system and left in the field. Special quotas are only allocated when there is a need.
