- **Address:** n/PN02-YJ, version 2 of 2 (https://www.plot.eco/n/PN02-YJ)
- **Kind:** Proposal (a recommendation, not a finding)
- **Who said it:** Drafted by AI
- **Period:** as of 2026-10-22
- **Checked:** Reviewed (step 3 of 4): PLOT reviewed the reasoning against the evidence it cites. This is not independent verification, and not an endorsement.
- **Open questions:** None open
- **Proposed by:** Drafted by AI (claude-opus-5-5, via Claude chat, prompt research\_place@1, started by Rob (PLOT owner)); model claude-opus-5-5
- **Barrier:** The ecosystem's listing is on the record only as relayed by the council.
- **Proposed action:** Find the ecological community on the EPBC threatened ecological communities list and record its exact name, category and listing date.
- **Done when:** A listing claim citing the EPBC list replaces or supports the council-relayed claim.
- **Applies to:** Western volcanic plains grasslands (subject)

## Why
- **Reasoning:** Required by decision 5: listings come from primary lists. Rests on: wvp-grassland-listing-as-stated, wvp-grassland-remaining-as-stated.
- **Assumptions:** not recorded
- **Alternatives considered:** not recorded
- **Would change if:** not recorded

## What's blocking this? Jobs (simulated)
- No public jobs.

## Decision log
- 2026-10-22, stage_change by Robert Laing (PLOT owner); recorded by Claude (about version 1): 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.

## History
- Version 2 (this version): 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.
- Version 1: first published version
