The Credits Supply Taskforce (Taskforce) is seeking to work with landholders in areas of New South Wales with significant current or upcoming demand for biodiversity credits.
You can search for your address on our In-demand Credits Map to check if your property is within one of these areas.
The In-demand Credits Map shows the potential location of in-demand Offset Trading Groups (OTGs) in IBRA subregions with high demand for biodiversity credits. Demand for Threatened Ecological Communities (TECs) and species credits are not currently included on this map. The high demand subregions and credits, including TECs and species, are listed below.
You can also submit a Stewardship Expression of Interest and the Taskforce will provide you with advice on whether your property may be able to create the types of biodiversity credits needed, in which case the Taskforce may also offer you a biodiversity assessment at no up-front cost.

Credits Near Me NSW app
The Credits Near Me NSW mobile and web app is a great starting point for landholders thinking about establishing a biodiversity stewardship agreement under the Biodiversity Offsets Scheme.
The app can help landholders identify the types of biodiversity credits they may be able to create and sell, and whether there are people looking to buy these types of credits.
The app can also help proponents of developments find areas where the potential supply of credits may help meet their biodiversity offset obligations.
