| Condition status: Current |
| Type(s): Rehabilitation |
| Rationale: The offset involves the rehabilitation of 2.4 hectares of land which is expected to establish native vegetation in good (Keighery 1994) condition with the following values:
-native vegetation significant as a remnant in an extensively cleared area (representative of Beard vegetation association 352).
The offset is considered relevant and proportionate to the significance of the environmental values being impacted, counterbalancing the significant residual impacts of the clearing. The offset counterbalances the significant residual impacts to a significant remnant of vegetation in an extensively cleared area. |
| Security arrangements: The reserve on Lot 3638 will have a vested change in purpose from gravel extraction to conservation. |
