2. Adoption of IPSWICH CITY COUNCIL Environmental Offsets Policy
This is a report concerning adoption of a new Council policy. Council requires a corporate Environmental Offsets Policy to guide decision making in relation to the use of environmental offsets in line with both the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cwth) and Environmental Offsets Act 2014 (Qld) . A draft policy has been created which is proposed to sit independently but work alongside the Biodiversity Offsets Planning Scheme Policy (PSP) currently in draft. These are intended to set the principles and guide the process for good offset management, governance and delivery for Council.
