OFFSET 1
Condition status: Complete
Type(s): Land acquisition
Rationale:

This offset involves the provision of a monetary contribution of $38,481 for the acquisition of 3.81 hectares of remnant native vegetation for conservation that is suitable as black cockatoo foraging habitat and representative of the Banksia Woodlands of the Swan Coastal Plain threatened ecological community.
The Department of Water and Environmental Regulation undertook a calculation using the Commonwealth Offsets Assessment Guide to determine that the acquisition and conservation of 3.81 hectares was adequately proportionate to the significance of the black cockatoo foraging habitat and threatened ecological community values being impacted.
The offset is considered relevant and proportionate to the significance of the environmental values being impacted, counterbalancing the significant residual impacts of the clearing.
