NSW Biodiversity Credits Market

Overview

What’s this about?

Healthy biodiversity is important for the quality of life of current and future generations. The biodiversity credits market plays a key role within the NSW Biodiversity Offsets Scheme to ensure biodiversity losses due to development or land clearing are offset by equivalent biodiversity gains at a price that reflects the efficient cost of conserving biodiversity.

We have commenced our third annual review of the NSW Biodiversity Credits Market and have released a discussion paper highlighting current and emerging issues for the market.

Interested stakeholders and businesses are invited to provide feedback on the performance of the market in 2024-25 and share their experiences by online submission and 3 stakeholder workshops targeting credit buyers, sellers and third parties. We will consider all feedback and stakeholder views before preparing the annual report to be published in April 2026.
