Registration of Biodiversity Credits - New South Wales

Description

You need to apply for this registration if you have generated biodiversity credits under the Biobanking Scheme, and again, separately, if you have sold or transferred those credits.

  • companies seeking to counterbalance (or offset) the impacts of their development activities on biodiversity values
  • entities seeking to invest in conservation outcomes.
