In April 2023 Minister of the Environment Tanya Plibersek put out a call seeking ambitious and innovative ideas to achieve better, longer lasting improvements for our biodiversity from governments, the private sector, First Nations peoples, NGOs, and philanthropic organisations.

The Biodiversity Council proposed several ideas: the development of Threatened Plant Action Groups; establishment of a Centre for Research into Climate-Driven Marine Species Shifts; implementation of a Giant Kelp Forest Recovery Plan and Reforestation Strategy; and injecting funds into a Longspined Sea Urchin Management Plan.
