About the document

This draft policy outlines the Australian Government's proposed framework on the use of environmental offsets under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 including when they can be required, how they are determined and the framework under which they operate.

The public comment period closed on 21 October 2011. Fifty-four submissions were received. If you are unable to read or access a submission, please contact us.

All submissions were considered in finalising the policy. The final EPBC Act environmental offsets policy was released in October 2012.
