Résumé

The Act, consisting of 13 Parts divided into 96 sections and two Schedules, provides for the environmental offsets in Queensland. The main purpose of this Act is to counterbalance the significant residual impacts of particular activities on prescribed environmental matters through the use of environmental offsets. The main purpose is achieved primarily by: establishing a framework for environmental offsets; recognising the level of protection given to prescribed environmental matters under other legislation; providing for national, State and local matters of environmental significance to be prescribed environmental matters for the purpose of this Act; and coordinating the implementation of the framework in conjunction with other legislation. It applies if an offset condition is imposed on an authority, under another Act, for a significant residual impact of a prescribed activity on a prescribed environmental matter.
