Next step
Confirm the grassland's EPBC listing from the primary list
Proposed · here's how you can help
1
Barrier
The ecosystem's listing is on the record only as relayed by the council.
2
Proposed action
Find the ecological community on the EPBC threatened ecological communities list and record its exact name, category and listing date.
3
Done when
A listing claim citing the EPBC list replaces or supports the council-relayed claim.
Still to work out: who leads it, what it costs, what it delivers, how it's monitored, what has to happen first.

- 2026-10-22 · stage_change · Robert Laing (PLOT owner); recorded by Claude: Done: the primary list now answers it. c/XJXY-X3 records the EPBC Act list (DCCEEW, extracted 20 March 2026) listing Natural Temperate Grassland of the Victorian Volcanic Plain as Critically Endangered, occurring in Victoria. Whether the council's "western volcanic plains grasslands" are that community stays an open question on the claim.
