  • Strategic offset investment corridors

The Queensland environmental offset framework uses several tools to encourage land supply for offset implementation, including Advanced Offsets, Strategic Offset Investment Corridors (SOICs), Landholder Expressions of Interest and Direct Benefit Management Plans (DBMPs).

The tools help to reduce the time period between impact and offset. They also provide opportunities for landholders to receive an income in return for voluntarily agreeing to manage their land, or part of their land, as an environmental offset.

Cultural acknowledgement

We pay our respects to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ancestors of this land, their spirits and their legacy. The foundations laid by these ancestors—our First Nations peoples—give strength, inspiration and courage to current and future generations towards creating a better Queensland.
