Environmental offsets are designed to counterbalance the significant residual impacts of proposals and clearing regulated under the Environmental Protection Act 1986 on biodiversity.
The Index of Biodiversity Surveys for Assessments (IBSA) program provides industry, regulators and the community with an index of land-based biodiversity surveys conducted in Western Australia. IBSA helps to create better environmental outcomes by maximising the availability of biodiversity data.
