| OFFSET 1 |
| Condition status: Complete |
| Type(s): Land acquisition |
| Rationale: This offset, when combined with offsets 2, 3, 4 and 5, counterbalances the loss of black cockatoo habitat, regionally significant vegetation, Conservation Category wetlands, Resource Enhancement wetlands and Bush Forever sites. The approved offset includes acquisition of approximately 154 hectares of native vegetation supporting:
- black cockatoo feeding habitat (154 hectares);
- potential black cockatoo breeding habitat (27 hectares);
- regionally significant vegetation (154 hectares);
- Conservation Category wetlands (114 hectares);
- Resource Enhancement wetlands (18.5 hectares); and
- Bush Forever site 372 (135 hectares).
The offset site may also support Quenda habitat and rare and priority flora. Approximately 50 per cent of the offset site is reported to be covered by the priority 3 ecological community FCT21c (Low lying Banksia attenuata woodlands or shrublands).
Approximately 12 hectares of native vegetation on the offset site is subject to ongoing maintenance activities associated with the Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline and a power line.
When combined with offsets 2, 3, 4 and 5, a total of 186.06 hectares of native vegetation containing values similar to the clearing area will be acquired/rehabilitated. The offsets combined are considered relevant and proportionate to the significance of the environmental values being impacted. |
| Security arrangements: The offset site will be owned by the Department of Parks and Wildlife and managed for conservation. The offset site is proposed to be protected as an 'A' class conservation reserve. |

| OFFSET 2 |
| Condition status: Current |
| Type(s): Rehabilitation |
| Rationale: This offset, when combined with offsets 1, 3, 4 and 5, counterbalances the loss of black cockatoo habitat, Quenda habitat, Conospermum undulatum, TEC FCT20a, regionally significant vegetation and Bush Forever sites. The offset involves rehabilitation of a 3 hectare portion of Pioneer Park (Bush Forever Site 440) including the establishment of 120 plants of Conospermum undulatum and 1.2 hectares of TEC FCT20a. Pioneer Park comprises black cockatoo habitat, Quenda habitat, regionally significant vegetation and is known to contain both Conospermum undulatum and TEC FCT20a.
When combined with offsets 1, 3, 4 and 5, a total of 186.06 hectares of native vegetation containing values similar to the clearing area will be acquired/rehabilitated. The offsets combined are considered relevant and proportionate to the significance of the environmental values being impacted. |
| Security arrangements: The offset site will remain a Bush Forever site. Management of the site will revert back to the Shire of Kalamunda following completion of rehabilitation requirements. |

| OFFSET 3 |
| Condition status: Current |
| Type(s): Land acquisition |
| Rationale: This offset, when combined with offsets 1, 2, 4 and 5, counterbalances the loss of black cockatoo habitat, quenda habitat, TEC FCT02, TEC FCT20a, regionally significant vegetation, Resource Enhancement wetlands and Bush Forever sites. The offset includes ceding of 1 hectare of regionally significant native vegetation in excellent (Keighery 1994) condition that predominantly contains TEC FCT02 but also includes a small transitional area of TEC FCT20a.
