Project Proponent Covalent Lithium Pty Ltd Proposal description The Minister has requested the EPA inquire into the question of whether the implementation conditions relating to Offsets in MS 1118 should be changed. The proponent has specifically requested: Amendment of wording of Condition 8-1 (3) to only refer to direct impacts to Ironcaps Banksia individuals. Removal of Condition 8-8 (4) and 8-8 (5), as these conditions refer to protection mechanisms and conservation reserves.
