Existing BioBanking Agreements
Existing BioBanking Agreements remain in place and are managed under the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 (NSW) as Biodiversity Stewardship Agreements. The Biodiversity Conservation Trust is responsible for the ongoing management of these agreements, including:
- administration of annual reports
- annual payments.
