Kingborough Council (local government) has been using offsets through the development application process for several years in an informal manner. Offsets are negotiated on a case-by-case basis. The Council has a draft biodiversity offset policy in place and is developing a new metric and implementation framework for the policy. As of 2008, there were 15 offset negotiations underway.
