Offset Assessment and Management

As defined by the Queensland Government, offsets are legal mitigation measures that are considered during the assessment phase of an environmental impact assessment. Offsets are used to compensate for the residual adverse impacts of an action on the environment to ensure compliance with the EPBC Act, the Queensland or Local Planning Scheme.

Green Tape Solutions' staff have gained extensive experience in delivering offset at a Council, State and Federal level. We understand the policy's requirements and keep up-to-date with change in legislation. We understand that offsets are a financial burden for our Clients and we help them by delivering cost-effective solutions at a State and Federal level.
