Information for landowners
Expression of interest
An expression of interest (EOI) is the first step in the process of establishing a biobank site and for landowners to create biodiversity credits on their land. Through an EOI, landowners can indicate this intention to potential credit buyers. EOI details are placed on the Biobank site EOI public register. Submitting an EOI does not carry any obligations and is free of charge.

Guide for landowners
Landowners in NSW who are interested in protecting and conserving biodiversity values on their land may establish a biobank site and generate biodiversity credits. The Guide for Landowners will provide comprehensive information about establishing a biobank site.
It is recommended that landowners who are thinking about entering a biobanking agreement read through the guide so that they can make an informed decision about establishing a biobank site.
The guide will help to landowners identify:
- whether they and their land is eligible for the establishment of a biobank site and how to go about doing it
- what the benefits and obligations are of establishing a biobank site
- how to sell the credits and what is the role of a BioBanking Trust Fund
- what happens after a biobank site is established.
