South Kipper
Purchased in November 2021, South Kipper is a 1,006 ha (2,485 acres) cattle grazing property located near Esk, in the Somerset Regional Council area. The property has approx. 730 ha of eligible offset area for koala, greater glider and grey-headed flying fox with the property linking existing Koala Priority Area and providing a corridor to surrounding habitat and biodiversity area.
This property is suited to Environmental Offsets under the Federal Government EPBC Act. We have several Offset Agreements in place (making up approx. 650 ha of land) that are currently being assessed by the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW).
In March 2024 we received our EPBC Offset approval from the Department for an offset of ~200 ha in size, and this was followed by a second which was ~190 ha. Both of these approvals are offsetting impacts to koala, grey-headed flying-fox and greater glider habitat.
