WA Environmental Offsets Policy

Policy
The Western Australian Government’s Environmental Offsets Policy seeks to protect and conserve environmental and biodiversity values for present and future
generations.
Last updated:

This policy ensures that economic and social development may occur while supporting long term environmental and conservation values. 

The use of environmental offsets will not replace proper on-site environmental practices, such as avoidance and mitigation. Offsets will be used to compensate for residual environmental impacts and be designed to achieve long-term outcomes, building upon existing conservation programs and initiatives.
