Environmental offset policy  has been introduced by State and Federal agencies to mitigate, minimise,  and offset the environmental impacts of development.

Environmental offsets are created through a strict regulatory process that ensures that they provide measurable and additional environmental benefits.

WCG Offset Services

WCG’s team take the hassle and the risk out of procuring offsets to ensure developments comply with legislation and are not held up  by the regulatory processes.  WCG work with developers to manage the entire offset process including:

-          Development impact and environmental policy implications

-          Offset site identification for current and future needs

-          Landholder and stakeholder negotiations

-          Site design, implementation and management

-          Monitoring and compliance reporting

WCG identify opportunities to use offsets to enhance the environmental qualities of landscapes by increasing connectivity, protecting rare species and mitigating serious threats such as pest species.

WCG Risk Management

WCG reduce the risk of environmental offsets through:

-          Delivering offsets on time and on budget

-          Ensuring projects align with State & Federal regulation

-          Designing high quality ecosystems resilient to drought, pests, climate change and fire
