Decision(s):

DECISION 1
Date: 2014-02-13 Ministerial statement: None
OFFSET 1
Condition status: Current
Type(s): Onground management
Rationale:

The offset site is located on the same property as the clearing area. The offset site is located within the mapped boundary of the same threatened ecological community (TEC) that was cleared and is also within the same Bush Forever site.

The proposed offset will mitigate the residual impacts by improving the condition of the TEC and Bush Forever site. If management activities are not conducted within the offset site it is expected that it will degrade futher due to the presence of aggressive weeds.
Security arrangements:

The offset area is a Bush Forever site managed for conservation.
Governance arrangements:

Offset location:

Lot 501 on Deposited Plan 56133 - Reserve 49218, Munster
