This is more about policy building , rather than real impact on maintaining what natural areas we have left. Spending time on reforming reforms and hashing over old ground is time we don't have,while natural vegetation is disappearing at a rapid rate. Policies like this ( coastal erosion policy as an example ) are not working documents but merely parameters to base the next plethora of policies that are then ignored.

The word acknowledgement is problematic, and we see this in action when a Government can acknowledge a Bush Forever site as important but then sell it off to housing development. Acknowledgement is not enough. It doesn't involve any action.

Please provide details on improving outcomes below.
Outcome 4 is open to manipulation and can undo all other Outcomes listed. If other priorities are considered when conserving natural areas, such as housing, roads, business and tourism, then the conservation of these areas is compromised. You either conserve them full stop, or not bother with a conservation policy. Take Bush forever sites: they were labelled Bush forever for a reason. And yet can be undone due to other priorities.
