The Biodiversity Offset Scheme (BOS) was introduced to provide a tool that aims to achieve a no net loss outcome for biodiversity via a mechanism where landholders are paid to protect and enhance bushland, improving the quality and habitat it provides, with funding coming from proponents that are impacting biodiversity.
The BOS has created a market for Ecosystem Credits and Species Credits that are tradeable on the open market.
We specialise in the establishment of Biodiversity Stewardship Agreements to generate credits from the perpetual protection and improvement of biodiversity on private land. If you are interested in exploring the potential to protect nature and introduce a revenue stream, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
We can also assist if you need to purchase credits to offset impacts. In this scenario, you have the below options:
Avoid or reduce impacts to biodiversity and therefore avoid entrance into the BOS.
Establish your own Biodiversity Stewardship Site to generate your own credits that match what you need.
Purchase credits on the open market.
Purchase credits from the governments Biodiversity Conservation Fund at a premium price.
The ideal strategy will differ project to project. We can help you asses the pros and cons to decide on the best way to achieve a no net loss scenario and continue with your project.
