Threats

While the population is protected in national park, any small population is at risk from natural disasters.
Plants are killed by fire so a fire frequency greater than the capacity of plants to germinate and reach reproductive maturity could cause the decline or extinction of the species.

Recovery strategies

Priority actions are the specific, practical things that must be done to recover a threatened species, population or ecological community. The Office of Environment and Heritage has identified 1 priority actions to help recover the Grey Deua Pomaderris in New South Wales.

Activities to assist this species

After fire no deliberate burning should be allowed within the population until plants reach reproductive maturity.
Monitor the population for establishment following the recent fires.
Investigate the reproductive biology and soil seed bank properties of this species.
Search likely habitat for other populations.
