ACTGOV Environmental Offsets Boundary

What is the resource? This layer contains environmental offset which have been granted approval under the EPBC act (approved). Environmental offsets are additional land that will be protected from future development and managed to maintain or enhance the matters of national environmental significance in accordance with the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation ACT 1999. To see more information on Environmental offsets visit: https://www.environment.act.gov.au/ACT-parks-conservation/environmental-offsets Who created the resource? The ACT Parks and Conservation Service (PCS) is the primary land manager of offset sites within the ACT, on behalf of the ACT Government. PCS has collated the environmental offset boundary datasets and continues to curate this dataset. Offset boundaries are established when a proposal by the proponent is accepted by the Commonwealth in accordance with the approval conditions. Who was it created for? & why was it created? This layer was created to support PCS with the ongoing management of environmental offsets within the ACT, and to be made publicly available as per the transparency requirements of the EPBC Act's Environmental Offsets Policy, and ACT Government's commitment to transparency. When was it created? Environmental offsets are proposed during the assessment stage of an environmental impact assessment under the EPBC ACT. The final offset boundary may not be agreed until post the approval is granted, and a condition of the approval is triggered. An newly approved offset is added to this dataset within 12 months of approval and offset boundary establishment. Disclaimer: While all care is taken to ensure accuracy, the ACT Government does not warrant that the layers are free from error.
