This offset proposal for EPBC 2023/09450 concerns a residential development clearing 1.72 hectares of Banksia Woodlands of the Swan Coastal Plain—a threatened ecological community—from Lot 16 and part of Lot 38 Barfield Road, Hammond Park, Western Australia. The habitat was assessed at quality score 6.5/10. To compensate, Gold Estates Holdings proposes intensive habitat restoration over 6 hectares within Tamworth Hill area of Rockingham Regional Park (Bush Forever Site 356), managed by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions. The offset proposal was prepared by Emerge Associates, underwent iterative review by DCCEEW and DBCA between May-June 2025, with revisions addressing departmental comments, before submission to DCCEEW for EPBC Act assessment approval.
