The way that maps are generated and presented in the online referral application form has changed. This includes referral applications already in development as well as new applications. The changes are intended to make the mapping tool more user friendly and won’t affect any of your mapping data. If you need help, guidance is available at the click of a button, above the map display.

Please direct any questions to the Referrals Gateway at  EPBC.Referrals@DCCEEW.gov.au or by phoning 1800 423 135. If your call is not answered, please leave a voicemail and the department will return your call as soon as possible.

The Offsets Register is a register of projects approved since the commencement of the EPBC Act in 2000 that have offset conditions.
Offset conditions can include both direct offsets (where a physical site is provided as an offset) and indirect offsets (such as research programs and financial contributions).
Specific information about the offsets (including Offset Names and Offset Sites) will be reviewed before being made available to ensure that information on sensitive Indigenous and cultural heritage sites, specific locations of sensitive protected matters and personal information is withheld from publication.
The release of Offset Names and Offset Sites will occur in stages between February and December 2023.
To see the project offset conditions, use the search boxes then select the EPBC number in the search results. Offset conditions are listed under the Offset Conditions tab.
A full list of approval conditions for each project can be found on the Approval decision notice and/or subsequent Variation of approval decision notice/s. Decision notices are available for download via the Decision Notices tab.
See Environmental offsets guidance for more information about EPBC Act offsets.

See Offsets heatmap for distribution of EPBC Act Offset sites.
