This correspondence documents Western Australia's Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions confirming support for an environmental offset strategy for EPBC referral 2023/09450 concerning a residential development at Lot 16 Barfield Road. The offset involves rehabilitating a 6-hectare portion of Lot 800 in Baldivis (within Rockingham Lakes Regional Park) to create a self-sustaining Banksia Threatened Ecological Community with a habitat quality score of 7/10. The site is state-owned freehold land managed by DBCA under a regional parks agreement. Implementation requires formal licensing of the proponent to undertake rehabilitation works, with DBCA completion criteria as binding conditions. The documents include correspondence between state and federal environmental authorities and a draft decision notice outlining offset completion requirements, but no apparent disagreement between scientific advice and regulatory decision is evident in the excerpt provided.
