Project Update 4/10/2022

This project has been proposed within an existing offset which was purchased by Council through the Eastern Creek vegetation project. DELWP have advised the offset site is not covered by a section 69 Agreement under the Conservation, Forests and Lands Act 1987, but rather via an endorsed Offset Plan under a permit condition (Planning Permit: 619/2011/P) .

As such, East Gippsland Shire Council appear to be the Responsible Authority regarding the Offset Plan, noting that DELWP may be a referral authority for the original permit.

The 10 year management period lapsed on 10 May 2022 and the Offset Plan does not appear to outline any ongoing obligations beyond the 10 year period.

Ethos NRM has been engaged by Council for the environmental work and is currently engaging with DELWP to assist council to submit planning approvals and to find "like for like" area to place offset vegetation.
