Identify and survey potential habitat to detect new populations. Epacris purpurascens var. purpurascens Epacris purpurascens var. purpurascens Plant > Shrubs Low
Liaise with land managers to encourage the preparation of site management plans and the implementation of appropriate threat abatement measures, such as weed control/bush regeneration, site protection (fencing/signage) and fire management. Epacris purpurascens var. purpurascens Epacris purpurascens var. purpurascens Plant > Shrubs High
Identify priority sites for formal habitat protection and seek to implement measures such as JMAs or VCAs. Epacris purpurascens var. purpurascens Epacris purpurascens var. purpurascens Plant > Shrubs Medium
Monitor impact of fire on populations to inform DECC/ RFS/ local government planning. Epacris purpurascens var. purpurascens Epacris purpurascens var. purpurascens Plant > Shrubs Medium
