The Department of Water and Environmental Regulation is seeking public comment on the draft Procedure for environmental offsets metric inputs.
Once finalised, this procedure will form part of the department’s policy framework. This procedure is for use with the WA environmental offsets metric (calculator and guideline).
Additional guidance is needed to help users understand the ranges of metric inputs and their rationale.
