The NSW Government has introduced new legislation for biodiversity conservation and native vegetation management, including the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016. One of the main goals of the Act is to conserve biodiversity.
To help assess the performance of the new legislation, the Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) will establish a monitoring program and assess the status of biodiversity in New South Wales at the beginning of the Act – the baseline – and then at recommended intervals, including contributing to the 5-year review of the Act.
