We work with proponents across New South Wales to identify current or upcoming demand for biodiversity credits. This page provides information on the location and type of in-demand biodiversity credits.
Demand for biodiversity credits fluctuates and there is no guarantee a credit type will remain in demand. Credit types shown in the resources below are in demand at the time of publication and are subject to change as a result of ongoing demand analysis.
In-demand credits search tool
Use this tool to search for ecosystem or species credits that are currently in demand or are soon to be in demand. You can select a subregion to see offset trading groups (OTGs) – that is, ecosystem credits – currently in demand in that subregion. You can also search for a specific OTG to see subregions where it is needed. Species credits can be filtered by fauna or flora species.
The search tool shows all potential subregions or OTGs that could meet current demand, in line with the like-for-like offset rules.
If you are viewing the search-tool on a mobile device or tablet, you can rotate your device to landscape for a better view and experience.
The in-demand ecosystem credits shown in this tool are also displayed on the Credits Near Me map below, which helps users understand where supply of in-demand credits may be located across New South Wales. This makes the tool a useful starting point for landholders considering establishing a biodiversity stewardship agreement under the Biodiversity Offsets Scheme.
In-demand Credits Near Me map
Enter your address into the Credits Near Me map to see whether your property is located in an area with current or upcoming demand for biodiversity credits.
The map shows the potential location of in-demand offset trading groups (OTGs) across IBRA subregions where there is demand. It does not currently include demand for threatened ecological communities (TECs) or species credits.
The Credits Near Me NSW mobile and web app helps landholders identify the types of biodiversity credits they may be able to generate and sell, and whether there is demand for those credits. It also supports development proponents by highlighting areas where potential credit supply may help meet biodiversity offset obligations.
Credit Demand Expression of Interest
We are seeking expressions of interest from proponents who would like help to source biodiversity credits.
If you are a proponent seeking biodiversity credits and you are interested in adding your credit needs to the In-Demand Credits Map and search tool, you can submit a Credit Demand Expression of Interest.
