DECISION 1
Date: 2006-08-11 Ministerial statement: None
OFFSET 1
Condition status: Complete
Type(s): Rehabilitation
Rationale:

The offset will result in the rehabilitation of approximately 2.27 hectares of native vegetation in completely degraded to degraded (Keighery 1994) condition in close proximity to the area being cleared. The offset site is located within Bush Forever Site 193.

The offset is considered to be relevant and proportionate to the significance of the environmental values being impacted, mitigating the residual impacts of the project.
