The listing of D. stenophylla under the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 has changed on 12 Feb 2021 from Presumed Extinct to Vulnerable, following its rediscovery in NSW in 1994 and recent survey work of NSW populations. Dodonaea stenophylla is common in Queensland and parts of the NT and is not considered likely to be nationally threatened. More information can be found in the NSW Threatened Species Scientific Committee Final Determination. Note added by K.L. Gibbons, 12 Feb. 2021.
