Biodiversity Banking

CRM_BB_ThumbnailThe NSW Biodiversity Offsets and banking Scheme (BioBanking) is currently on public exhibition around the State. The regulatory impact statement is due to be released in December 2007, with the scheme due to commence in 2008. The scheme will allow farmers to create biobanking credits on their land, which can then be sold on the biobanking market to property developers. Part of the proceeds of the sale must be placed in a Government managed trust fund, which will be used to provide an annuity pay for ongoing management of the credit site.
