The Biodiversity Assessment Method 2020 – What’s New fact sheet outlines the key amendments made to BAM 2017. Clause 6.31 of the Biodiversity Conservation Regulation 2017 provides transitional arrangements to minimise the impact that amendments to the BAM may have on proponents and landholders with a biodiversity assessment underway. This includes assessments for development, activities, clearing, biodiversity certification and biodiversity stewardship agreements.
