These nominations may well be useful in providing these conservation groups with a basis upon which to satisfy the standing tests used by Victorian courts in relation to the seeking of judicial review of administrative decisions. The nomination by the conservation group of a particular species, community or process may be seen as giving that group a "special interest" regarding that species, community or process. Such standing could be very useful in relation to issues such as the challenging of a determination of critical habitat.
